I have an old lady cat called Honey (she's 14) and 12 chickens 

I got Honey 5 years ago when her previous owner (my cousin) had her home flooded in the 2007 floods which affected my home town. I had to have her cat since she had to move back in with her mom who had a dog which didn't really get along with Honey (she's borderline sociopathic  ).  Anywho, the weeks dragged on and one day, my cousin was finally allowed back into the refurbished house and had to take Honey back.    

Well, I cried, she cried and evidently, Honey cried also because 2 days later she brought her back    Apparently she missed me so much, she stopped eating, cried loudly whenever she could and generally made my poor cousins life as difficult as she could!!

And I have 12 chickens - my fella won't let me name them cos after they have finished laying eggs, they'll be curry, but me and my step-daughter have secretly named them after ponies!!  The 2 big white ones are Lyra and Bon-bon, 2 medium white ones are Luna and Celly, the 3 little white ones are (of course) named after the CMC.  Then we have the brown ones, Pony, Spitfire, Rose, Daisy and Lily.
