The owners of the farm think that the cat took advantage when the hen came out of the basket and gave birth there
Nature can be very surprising indeed. In the interior of São Paulo, the inhabitants of a farm were startled. A farm owner went to get the eggs from the chicken coop. Inside the basket where the hen is, she found a very out-of-the-box family.
In the straw basket, under the hen, the newborn kittens sleep peacefully. The real mother watches everything from the top of the wall, with the face of someone who doesn't quite understand this story. The owners of the farm think that the cat took advantage when the chicken came out of the basket and gave birth there.
“I think it's an exchange of favors. The cats stayed on the property to prevent rats from eating the chicken feed. The chicken now takes care of the chicks”, says rural producer Marcos Gomide.
Housewife Silmara Simonagio can't even get close to the animals: “I want to take the chicken out to see if the cat comes. I think I'll have to get some chicks for her to take care of”.
And 70-year-old rural producer Antônio Indrigo discovered that there is still a lot in life that he hasn't seen: “It's the same with birds. How are you going to adopt a kitten?"
The vet explained that all females have maternal instincts, but he was also surprised. The most common is for birds to adopt birds and mammals to adopt mammals.
