Cats and birds….a cat is a predator and a chicken is a bird. Yes, a domestic cat will chase and attempt a kill. Cats just cannot help themselves. That chicken just moves so enticingly. Most barn cats learn quickly that chasing is fun but actually bring down that hen might result in an attack by a feisty rooster or an angry farmer. There is easier prey to be had because where there are chickens there is seed and where there is seed there are mice….much easier to kill.
