So, today, I heard some weird noises outside. Sounded like it could be a child in distress but I couldn't see anything (where I expected to see anything) so I sat back down, but they got louder and more urgent and I happened to look out the back window and saw a cat pouncing on something black. I opened the door and the cat looked up and booked it, as they tend to do, but the black thing promptly trotted towards me and came right up to me and stopped. It was a very pretty black bantam hen. I picked her up and she was utterly okay with that. Didn't seem at all distressed now that the cat had run off, and almost snuggled. I know the place behind me has had hens (as they had a rooster at one point that I mistakenly blamed my neighbour for) so, after she was completely calm, I lowered her over the back fence, and she quite happily jumped down and disappeared into their garden as if she knew the place. So that was my social interaction for today.

@nzlemming A good deed! Some people might've lit the barbecue...

@ThisCJ There's not a lot of meat on a bantam, boy...

@nzlemming well I'd say that was one brave, even foolhardy, cat to take on a bantam.

@ThisCJ @nzlemming what a grotesque thing to think, say or do. Take it you've never interacted with chickens
