Training cats to leave chickens alone

Can you train a cat to not
try to eat cute young chicks?


Training dogs to leave chickens alone is easy because dogs want to
please their human pack leader, but most cats only seem interested in
pleasing themselves.



Our two cats are full grown
and have access to the area where we let chicks run free. We’ve had
several years of peaceful coexistence between the two, but we keep the
cats well fed and I suspect that might change if they had a few days of
being hungry.
