Hello!
I have been living abroad for awhile/travelling, but when I return home I am planning to adopt a cat, and some chickees at the same time. I'll be living in the city, so I'm planning on having "urban" chickens. Probably 2-3 that will live in my backyard in a cozy little coop. I'd like to have a cat that can be friends with the chickens, and possibly even protect them from other neighborhood predators.
I know there are a few people on the site who have farms, and I'm especially wondering what their experience is with barn cats and other farm animals being friends?
Is it possible for the two to become friends, or will a cat's carnal instincts get the best of them?
