There's a cat in the hen house what I'm a gonna do?
I'm gonna beat that cat......
Ok - please let me introduce you to Jade, my short hair, ginger and white tabby. She's about 20 months old and about the same size and colour as the chooks.
Well yesterday morning, she decided to sneak into the hen house while I was feeding them. In my early morning, bleary-eyed state, I didn't notice that I now suddenly had 7 hens instead of six and I didn't see her sneak through the pop-hole into their run.
I went out the back of the hen house as usual to check that the run was still intact and that was when I noticed her. Only, so did the hens!
It kind of went like this:
Hen attacks - cat shoots around run at top spead
Hen attacks again - cat shoots around run again
Hen attacks again - cat shoots up the side of the run and is hanging, upside down, by her claws from the chicken wire mesh on the top of the run.
Then she discovered that hens can fly:lol:
I was laughing so much that I couldn't open the door quickly enough to rescue her.
Poor cat, I think she's still under the bed now.
