A cat, a mother of three kittens, adopted three orphaned ducklings and started nursing them along with her own.
Ronan and Emma Lally, from Clare Co Offaly, Ireland, were surprised to learn that their cat took in the ducklings instead of harming them. “The minute the cat lay down the three ducklings run underneath her. She started to purr,” Ronan said via independent.ie.
“We lifted her up and two ducklings were latched onto the cat. The cat has all the material instinct, she has her paw around them and it is just extraordinary.”
“The cat thinks they are all kittens. The cat might notice when the yellow kittens get very big,” he added.

Frank and Beans, two tiny kittens, were found behind dumpsters by an airport ground service worker.
Reddit user Johnny was throwing out trash when he heard kitty cries near the dumpsters. He spotted the kittens and knew right away he had to do something to help the little ones. Hoping to find the cat mother, “I waited 6 hours from when I first heard them crying,” he said. With no mother cat in sight, he decided to take the kittens with him.
In the next week or so, he kept an eye out for the cat mother, but no cat came for the babies. In the meantime, he had started bottle feeding the little babies around the clock.
When asked if he was keeping the kittens, he said “Yes, I am attached.”
