Mother Cat looks after Baby Chickens!

That's cute. Cats must be great moms. I remember once at a nature reserve, there was a mother racoon who wouldn't feed her babies. The caretakers at the reserve brought the baby racoons to a mother cat, and she accepted the racoons as her own. They were able to nurse from the mother cat, and they did fine.

That sounds very cute. I would have liked to have seen it

God evening jenny. When my grandmother was alive she raised chickens. They ran around the yard loose. She also had cats. tcat are very smart. The birds would feed with the baby chickens. The chicken would gat in a close group pretty soon a cat would be sneeking upon them.. at first we thoughtthe cat was after the chickens. but before we could get to the cat she had a bird and the chickens idn't even scatter. So Cat knoew what is aloud in they terratory,

That's really something. I find it a bit strange that a lot of people have problems with families who are of different ethnicities...yet here we have an example of a family who aren't even the same species and they get along just fine. I think that's great. I had two cats once who both had kittens within a week of each other. One had three black and one gray tabby, and the other had two gray tabbies and two orange tabbies. The two cats would trade their kittens back and forth repeatedly. I think they might have both been trying to get a "variety pack," because they always mixed the colors of the kittens up. It was really cute.

That is sweet and I actually just read the same story. So if anyone is interested there is a story about it on CNN.com. It is so funny when animals just take over like that and think of them as their own babies. So cute.

I love these stories and it just goes to show you how strong the maternal instinct really is. I did see another show that featured a cat who took a motherless baby bird and treated it as her baby. The bird grew up and is still very attached to the cat who still thinks of it as her baby.

thats one smart cat its looking after those baby chickens feeding them helping them grow so she can have a bigger meal its sort of like investing for her future lol

That sounds cute I hope the cats bird hunting instints don't kick in... I currently have 2 chickens at home I got them from my son's kindergarden they are 7 weeks old...

There's that motherly instinct. That's is so sweet and amazing. Cats have such personality. We have always had cats as pets

There's that motherly instinct. Thats is so sweet and amazing.

Ah,that's such a cute story! I wonder what kitty is going to do when chickies start growing up and aren't as fluffy? I'm sure she will cope

Aw this is so sweet. I wish more humans had the insticts of animals sometimes. Maybe the world would get along much better if we all did. thanks for sharing this sweet story with us.

Awww. That is so cute. I think the maternal instinct is so much stronger in animals than it is in humans. We are maternal to our own children but animals have a tendency to take any offspring in to their care.

wow that cat is totally more responsible then me i can't even take care of my little brother\ and that cat made me look like irresponsible guy but thats probably right hehe

What a nice story and don't once again prove that the animal kingdom has more compassion that man.

What a very touching story. My cats never sdopted our chickens but the chicken definitely rule things here and they often chase my poor cats around
