Why Can't we be Friends?

Our cat Persha loves to sit and watch the chickens. I'm not sure what her intent is but she seems to just enjoy their company and they seem to reciprocate those feelings.
I think that as long as the fence is between them ....
they will do just fine being friends.
"Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but kisses of an enemy are deceitful."
Proverbs 27:6
