My cat did some stalking behavior a few times but we were keeping an eagle eye on them so nothing every happened. More than anything, he wanted to "bonk" them.

Now that they're older, the chickens terrorize the cats. They chase and sometimes attack the kitties. The cats run away run away!

Here is a pic of a nearby farm's cat who came to visit and decided yogurt was something she would like to share with the chickens.

didn't realize till I saw the enlarged photo but she brought her siblings along with her to try the chicken's treats. LOL

you don't have to worry about the cats Mario as long as the chickens are grown I wouldn't give them a second thought. But that is a Dominique in the picture.

My cats will chase my rir for about ten feet. then the chicken has had enough and turns on the cat and whomps the cat. I am afraid for my little black tailed jappanees. good thing they fly like sparrows.

burley!!! I think the chickens rule the cats if you have several chickens together as opposed to one?
