Irish Mama Cat Clara with her baby kittehs and ducklings:


Videographer Maura Cunningham gives us an update on the Irish cat named Clara who is raising a nest of ducklings along with her own kittens.
The ducklings grew faster than the kittens, and Clara did not like it one bit when one of them dared to leave the nest!
For the rest of the video, she was all, "Come back here! I'm not finished lecturing you!" (via I Have Seen the Whole of the Internet)

Ha!
She wants those duckies closer to her.

What a wonderful mama. She thinks those yellow ones are mighty strange kittens!

Don't recall why the duck became orphaned, but we brought it in the house and it would sleep next to my dog. Somewhere there are pictures...

The kittens would nurse and the duckling would get right in there with them imitating them. Cutest thing ever.
