Scruffles is a pretty normal cat in most regards.
Scruffles enjoys sleeping, getting belly rubs, and playing with his brother. However, even though Scruffles seems like the average cat, a group of chickens have decided he’s the most interesting animal on Earth!
Scruffles loves posing for his adoring fans.
He’ll often lay in front of the screen door leading into his backyard.
His owner’s flock of chickens will sit in the backyard, staring at Scruffles through the glass.
Scruffles doesn’t just pose for the chickens—he also plays with them.
They’ll sometimes hang out together in the house, and sometimes, Scruffles will hang with them in the backyard.
Scruffles isn’t the only cat in the house—he also has a sibling named Momo.
The two cats enjoy taking naps and playing with their toys. Sometimes, they’ll watch the chickens together.
While the chickens get along with Momo, they aren’t as taken with him as they are with Scruffles.
Scruffles is like the chickens’ own personal TV show!
While it may be surprising to see a cat and chickens getting along so well, it isn’t too unusual.
According to Backyard Chicken Coops, with a little training, most cats can get along with a chicken. If you’re hoping to raise chickens and cats together, Backyard Chicken Coops suggests introducing the cat to the chicken through a wire mesh fence. This will prevent the cat from lunging towards the chicken. They also say that you should pet the cat and give it its favorite toy to reassure it and help it understand that everything is normal.
After a few weeks, the cat should be ready to meet the chicken face-to-face.
Hold the chicken at first, but allow the cat to sniff it and take a closer look. If the cat lunges at the chicken, scold the cat and tell it that its behavior isn’t acceptable. Once the cat has calmed down, try introducing it to the chicken again.
Scruffles’ chicken buddies love watching him, and he’s more than happy to put on a show for them. If you want to see more of Scruffles and his friends, check out his Instagram page.
