Sunshine and the New Chick

     Sunshine is our yellow cat.  We have had him since he was four weeks old.  Sugar is his brother. Sugar is white and yellow.  The boys are very sweet and loving, but they do love playing with the birds in our backyard.  However, once the chicks get big enough, they don't really like to try to play with them anymore.  They just like to run at the flock and watch the birds scatter.
     Sunshine is probably the less predatory of the two cats.  This evening, under careful supervision, we introduced him to the new chicks.  Out of our latest batch we have gotten two new ones.  That makes a total of seven backyard chickens.  We moved the little easter egger out to the coop last week and he seems to be adjusting.  He likes to sit on top of his little barn house and "cheep, cheep, chirp"  
     We let Sunshine meet the two new babies.  He rubbed his head against them, purring all the while.  He is still out of the house while the chicks are in the house but he doesn't seem to mind.
