Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

Peace Between the AnimalsTo get to my yard, of course. [Click picture to play video.]

There is a nightly visitor to the garden here, and the cats do not seem to mind.  I do wonder what Bela is thinking.  Does she understand that this other animal is a bird, and that cats are supposed to want to eat birds?  Does she think it is perhaps another large and very ugly cat?  Does she know it is a chicken, but realize that even if she did attack it, it could easily fend her off?  Or does she think she could defeat it, but has no interest, since she receives her meals everyday with no effort on her part?  Some time ago we had an armadillo in the back yard and she seems to look on it with pity.  We had a raccoon as well, but never witnessed their interaction.

Did I mention I live in a city, and not on a farm?
