As the Carr Fire continued to rage in Redding, California, destroying more than 1,000 homes, the blaze also managed to create an unlikely friendship -- between a cat and a chicken.
The two animals surprised California firefighters Monday when they were spotted huddling together in a doorway “for safety and support” in Redding as the Carr Fire continued to rage on in the neighborhood.
