Chickens are the most numerous livestock and bird species on the planet, with an estimated 25 billion, or 3 for every human! With hundreds of breeds, various shapes, sizes, colors, and even types of feathers, chickens are kept mainly for their eggs, meat, or just as companions. Their eggs also come in various colors, which are usually (but not always!) connected to the color of the chicken's earlobe: white for white eggs, red for brown eggs, green for green eggs, and blue for blue eggs.
A chicken is actually roughly the same size as a cat. These ones are downsized to fit!
This cat's companions are three different breeds: Red Star hen (bottom left), Speckled Sussex hen (top) and a Wyandotte rooster (bottom right)

tell me about this cat's best friend! is it another cat, their chickens, something different? no limits!

Username: Archaeopteryx.
Cat Name: Softsilt
Gender: Butch
Rank: Farmer
Clan: Enurian
Age: Adult
Prompt:

Well! There's not many other cats living in the Floodplains. If you're not a farmer or really into wet mud constantly getting in your fur and paws, it is a pretty miserable place to live. The sky's always gray and overcast, the soil is clay and never absorbs rainwater, and it's always wet. If it's not the summer rains, it's the winter snowmelt coming down from the mountains.

So Softsilt supposes she's close to her neighbor, Wheatcurl, except she really only sees him by accident. They're civil towards each other, sure, and trade supplies all the time, but.... well, ever since he adopted that kitten he fished out of the floodwaters, she hasn't really seen him around that much.

There's always the odd traveler or wanderer! They're usually pretty grateful to get a warm meal and a soft space to sleep. Except they're never really around long enough to really become friends with, even the ones who pop in more than once. Finchflit's a sweet young guy, and the two brothers are nice enough, but she doesn't really know them enough to comfortably call them friends, let alone best friends.

That's okay! Because there's always...

...well...

...there's not really anyone else, is there?

...that's alright! Softsilt just won't think about it. Besides, her chickens are plenty enough company. They've always got a listening ear and plenty of opinions.

Username: K1NGCL3M3NT1N3
Cat Name: hen’call harriet
Gender: female [she/her]
Rank: member [soon to be retired]
Clan: lily meadow alliance
Age: 86 moons
Prompt:
“do i got a best friend? oh, don’t you know it, hon! plenty of ‘em, really!” hen’call says gleefully when you ask her about the topic. the old molly giggles, and starts listing everyone she considers her… “besties,” as she is so insistent on putting it.

she starts easy. “my sweet little chicks are my number ones, of course!” you do not comment that they are not little nor chicks, and you’re afraid to test her claim of their sweetness. the speckled dark brown chicken, the one that hen’call introduced to you as lucky, certainly seems to give you a stare that could make the fiercest of commanders back down in shame. hen’call tells you all about the chickens. “grew up on a little ol’ farm in the countryside with my humans! i was only a lass like the people’s little girl when this old man-“ she gestures to the white and black rooster “-was bought. little lass was insistent on naming him luna, and ain’t none of those humans could change her mind.” she chuckles.

“and then these pretty hens both actually came about from a bit of a mishap. y’see, the neighbors a bit away had chickens of their own, and these two were just born when somethin’ happened that tore the fence around their pen down. tracked down most of their chickens and returned ‘em, but lucky and pretty red just refused to leave me!” something mischievous rises in hen’call’s voice. you suspect she had some involvement in it, and you narrow your eyes. she only grins further.

she moves on to actual cats. “now, i got plenty o’ besties here in the alliance. i’m a pretty friendly cat, y’know? the type where y’just know i’ll keep your secrets.” she winks at you. “anyways, it gets some cats to open up that‘cha least expect. that sleeping’sky ain’t mysterious or cold or anything, but he sure does keep to himself. closest to my age, though he’s still plenty young. lad’s a sweetheart once you get him to open up- not to mention how much he cares about his cute little daughter, ash. he’s such a dear, that lass!”

“then of course, there’s firefly’flitter. always eager to help- and so fun! hardly bothers her none when i call ‘er for help with all my old age predicaments. got her to open up to me for real a few times, so i reckon she’d think us besties as well! such a kind soul, though she could do to take a bit of her shoulders.” then hen’call winks again; she seems to love doing that. “course, i talk to her darling mate, and they fix that for her right quick.” it takes a moment before you realize she’s talking about shivering’sea. you inform her that firefly’flitter and shivering’sea aren’t mates, and she seems genuinely surprised.

“oh, sure did fool me then! they sound like my ma and pa sometimes, that’s all- so much love when they talk about each other, but put ‘em together and make ‘em make decisions? they can bicker in the shake of a tail feather!” she laughs. you think she’s done talking about her best friends and smile at her politely, about to excuse yourself, when she opens her mouth again and talks like she didn’t even notice you were ready to leave.

“y’know, i think i could even say i got a bestie in coast’pearl, too!” you pause to process that- coast’pearl? a friend to anyone, let alone this kindly, eccentric old molly? your face must show your surprise, because hen’call barks another laugh. “oh i know, y’don’t believe me, do ya? but it’s true! caught xem on a bad day once, poor thing. suspect xe misses xyr family a whole bunch, and xe ain’t got nobody here to listen. so i did, and xe was hesitant, but i wormed xyr worries out of xem and gave some company. xe really ain’t as awful as xe seems to think, hm? and got a surprising amount o’ gossip too, though,” she giggles, “i ain’t s’posed to tell anyone.”

hen’call’s endless chattering about her friends in the alliance is sweet, and you’ve honestly grown quite fond of her. but you unfortunately can’t spend all day chatting, and finally, you tell her you do have to go. she clicks her tongue and says, “aw, well! hope to see ya around, hon. don’t be a stranger! maybe someday i’ll add you to my list of besties, yeah?” you bid her a fond farewell.

as you leave, you hear pawsteps walking towards where you just were, and a low, warm voice. “harriet, what are you doing out here? it’s supposed to get stormy soon, you know you shouldn’t be out with this chickens when it gets like that.” you turn, and your suspicions are correct- it’s coast’pearl, xyr voice kinder than you think you’ve ever heard it before.

“oh, i know, hon! just enjoyin’ the day while it lasts, y’understand, hali.” you make a little noise of surprise. hen’call must really have been serious then- personal-name basis is real serious business, and you thought nobody in the alliance knew coast’pearl’s. you guess they truly must be close, and as the bimetallic tabby ushers hen’call inside, you rush to leave before you hear anything else too personal.

Cat Name: Anona “Annie”
Gender: female
Rank: protector
Clan: amaryllis group
Age: 5 years
Prompt: now im not 100% this is exactly what the prompt asks but i had fun developing them through a little scene so i hope you enjoy! <3

[ 695 words ]
Anona | Maeve
Chaos erupts within the chicken coop. Feathers floated in delicate disarray to the seed coated soil, screeches arose from the fowl inside, and dust was kicked up in a flurry. Emerging from the middle of a chaos was a warm-coated feline, light on her feet and silent, determination taking hold of her maw. This feline’s name is Anona, and her sole duty is to protect and calm the fowl within this coop who are currently in disarray. Despite the unwelcoming look on her face, Anona is a sweet gal who is incredibly welcoming and considerate to all those who know her. This is evident by her quick and fluid movements screeching to a halt and the stoicism on her face melting into warmth at the sight of the cause of such ruckus; her canid friend. Before her stood the personification of slyness and mischief, with their fur ablaze with the color of fall and tail rounded and puffed, tipped with white. “I was starting to think it was getting a little too quiet around here.” Anona laughed, approaching her best friend with ease in her steps. “It’s nice to see you again Maeve, I was getting worried that you weren’t coming around and being a menace!” The female fox giggled, smacking Anona with her large tail gently, ears restless with the distress of the chickens.

“Ahhh ya’know I gotta eat sometimes Annie! Since you’ve so cruelly put your chicks off limits. Boy do they look delicious today tho~”Maeve hummed softly, sharp eyes pinning an especially plump chicken or two under her gaze.

Anona tsked softly, nosing her larger friend away from her vulnerable poultry. “Now now Maevie, enough with the complaining. Come on, let’s go hit up the lake, see what’s new. I’ve been dying for a swim, this fall has been much too hot for my liking. Maybe we can catch you an extra plump fish!”

“Oooo yeah! Ah damn Annie you got my mouth waterin’ now. If you can’t find me a fish you gotta find me somethin’ else, deal?” Maeve’s steps were much shorter than her smaller companion, but they fell into step with natural ease.

“You got a deal!” Anona laughed softly. They trotted along in comfortable silence. Her mind drifted back to her valuables fading quickly behind her. Knowing her anxious bunch, they’d be cuddled up in the back corner of their coop until she returned. The female chuckled softly, amused by her chicken’s constant worry. A soft breeze rolled by, tickling her whiskers and brushing through her thick fur. Carried on the breeze was a scent that was familiar, but was the slightest bit changed that it unnerved her. Recognizing the basis of the scent she turned to the fox beside her. “Hey Maeve?” She prodded with a soft air of wariness.

“What’s up doll?” Maeve responded, too absent minded in her own thoughts to notice the subtle change in her closest friend beside her.

The pair pushed through a bramble patch, arriving at their destination as Anona readied herself to answer. “Are…are you pregnant?” The sudden serious tone dropped onto the fox like a weighted blanket. Shock took hold of her lithe frame so visibly it was almost palpable.

“I uh…how’d ya’ know?” She answered sheepishly, reeling back slightly in her fluff as she chanced a look over to the feline. Joy set her feature alight and a squeal ripped from her muzzle. Anona bounced up and down, delighted for her friend before throwing her body at her. Still reeling from the shock of being asked the question and of such a positive reaction from Anona, Maeve toppled easily.

“Oh my gosh you big buffoon why didn’t you tell me earlier?! Is that why you were gone?! Ahh I’m so excited to be an aunt! I’m going to teach them everything I know!” Anona giggled excitedly, a devious expression taking hold.

“Oh lord, what did I get myself into.” Maeve chuckled back good-heartedly.

“Wait until the world hears of a pack of foxes protecting some delectable chickens!” Maeve paled in horror as Maeve daydreamed about the sight it could’ve been, and would be, despite her best friend’s protests.
