Cat adopts Mouse

Ten days ago, the cat gave birth to five kittens in China.

"She stays in the box all day long, taking care of her babies, but three days ago, my colleague found a small mouse playing with the kittens," said a spokesperson for the store in Shijiazhuang city.

"The cat was protecting the mouse, and would become alert if anyone came too close."
The store staff threw the mouse out once, but immediately the cat ran to bring it back and let it play with her kittens.

Experts say it's quite exceptional, but that maybe the cat became lenient after becoming a mother.

Weird Chickens !! In Key West, Florida

However, a previous 2004 attempt that rounded up 500 chickens failed as some chicken-sympathizers opened the cages and let them loose.
