What affects us affects cats
This is another one of those extraordinary interspecies relationship and in this instance a mother hen is incubating three kittens just as if they were her eggs. It’s quite remarkable to see. The hen is completely unfazed by it. As the female of one species so often raises the offspring of another species, it …
