Our chickens seemed quite happy and there were loads of cats, the odd fox, lots of dogs and even once a hen harrier apparently eyeing up our hens (so a neighbour told me) and they were a contented bunch nonetheless.
we had two rescue cats, then moved to the country and acquired 6 chickens. The large male cat has never seemed to notice them, but the smaller female likes to sleep right up agsainst the fence of their run - and lick out the bowl when I give them their porridge in the morning - other than thast no interest shown
I think its more a case of will the chickens upset the cats!!
My little Siamese Cross is often to be found curled up in a nesting box on a cold evening!! My male cat is much more scared of the chooks than they are him. He sometimes tries to eat their food when I fill it up in the mornings( he is a dustbin) but when I let them out he runs for the hills!!
