The Chicken Who Chose to Be a Cat

RELEATED VIDEOS :

She was born into a flock. By all accounts, that’s where she was supposed to stay. But rules never quite sat well with her.

When the other hens filed dutifully into the coop, she veered off in another direction — toward the porch, where two tabby cats stretched lazily in the sun.

At first, it looked like a passing joke: a chicken wedged between cats, pecking kibble from a dish that wasn’t hers, blinking slowly as if she had cracked the code of feline belonging. But days became weeks, and the pattern held.

This wasn’t confusion. It was conviction.

The chicken had no interest in where she “should” be. Instead, she placed herself exactly where she felt at home — among cats, not hens.

It’s easy to laugh at a chicken who thinks she’s a cat. But look closer. Her choice is more than funny — it’s profound. She reminds us of something humans often forget: we are not bound forever to the groups we are born into. Family isn’t only about bloodlines or expectations.

We are free to choose the bonds that make us feel safe, seen, and whole.

Sometimes, that family looks traditional. Sometimes, it’s unexpected. And sometimes, it’s a chicken and two cats sharing the sun on a quiet porch.
