They might eat some rats for you though.
I have three cats so I am a lover but I know that if they like to run across the street there is a better chance they may die early. Likewise if they are messing with someones chickens they might die early due to being a menace to a gun owner. With that said the real fact of the matter is that a chicken could put up a pretty good fight against a feral cat and being that cats are smart they probably would not mess with a chicken, especially a chicken that is in a coop or roaming free with other chickens around. If the cat did want to mess with a chicken I bet it would send the cat running. Feral cats can survive just fine off of smaller less troublesome animals bugs included. So there is very little reason to shoot a cat. I bet a clear warning shot would scare a cat enough that they would never come back.
