Unexpected Companions

 Like two peas in a pod


Meet Rosemary Chicken, aptly named because I first caught her laying eggs between two rosemary plants, and Kitty, aptly named because he's a kitty.

Rosemary Chicken likes to jump the chicken's netting and come to the garage to lay her egg, then get a treat.  Her favorite being doughnuts or bread.  To get her to start laying her eggs in the garage, we made her her own, personal nesting bed and prompted her with treats.  After a few months, Kitty discovered that Rosemary Chicken's nesting bed is quite comfy.


Of course, she wasn't too happy.


"Squawk!"

Not one interested in getting scratched by the cat, I decide to wait and see how this played out.  The next day, Rosemary Chicken and Kitty were sharing the bed.  Now the two get along as if they've been friends forever.  They even share their food with each other.  Of course, when Kitty does finally decide to get off of Rosemary Chicken's nesting bed, she has no problem reclaiming it.
