Cats are known for a lot of different things. They are known for their sneakiness, for their intelligence and, why not admit it, for their independent and somewhat arrogant personalities. But what not a lot of people know about them is the fact that felines also have a very strong maternal instinct.
And if you don’t believe me, just take a look at the story shown in the video below.
After two Chihuahua-mix puppies were born premature and shunned at birth by their mother, a Siamese cat unexpectedly stepped in and assumed the role of being their mom. Much to everyone’s surprise, the cat nursed all of the puppies until they were big enough to be adopted.
It’s common knowledge that puppies are pretty much helpless during their first weeks of life, so if this cat hadn’t cared for them as if she was the one who gave birth to them, there is no knowing what would have happened to the puppies.
It’s fascinating to see how animals can love and help each other despite the differences that exist between them, and it’s a lesson we all stand to learn from them. Take a look and don’t forget to share!
