I have to post something now and again to make animal lovers (among whom I include myself) go "Awwwww!" The story of Gladys the chicken and Snowy the cat seems appropriate.
It's an unlikely partnering, but a lonely chicken has struck up an extraordinary friendship with a cat.
In another life, Snowy the cat would surely be chasing chicken Gladys round the farm they both live on.
But against all the odds, the pair have become firm friends - even lavishing affection on each other.
The incredible friendship blossomed just over two months ago when a fox killed 13 chicks - leaving Gladys as the only survivor.
Alone and in need of a friend, Gladys was brought into the farmhouse by her owners to keep her safe. And it was here her beautiful friendship with Snowy began.
Now the two pals are inseparable at the farm in Middleton, near Leiston in Suffolk, and Snowy even puts her paw around the chicken to comfort her.

Do I hear a communal "Awwww!" from readers?

This sort of thing never happened before the Brits banned fox hunting.
You can just feel the ultra-concentrated Awwwwwww, can't you?
That's just sweet.

Either that's a monster cat, or Gladys is a teeny chicken!
