00:00Emma noticed something unusual.

00:02I was like, Ronan, she's not actually forcefully holding this duck.

00:06That's when the amazing thing happened.

00:08We put the cat down, put the ducklings down,

00:11and then all of a sudden the three little ducklings waddled straight underneath the cat.

00:16The cat lay down on her side, put her paw over one of the ducklings

00:20and was kind of nursing the duckling in towards her.

00:23So we were, I mean, just absolutely blown away with this.

00:26Because normally cats would eat small birds, but it was awesome.

00:30It was just incredible to see it.

00:33She was very content at this stage.

00:36She was purring and she was really loving towards the ducklings.

00:40When I was petting her down,

00:42I noticed that she actually had given birth to three kittens

00:45only within an hour or so beforehand.

00:50It was a very lucky coincidence for the ducklings

00:53that the cat found them just after giving birth herself.

00:57For a narrow window of a couple of hours,

01:00mothering hormones will have been coursing through her body,

01:03causing her to love and nurture any small, warm, furry creature she found next to her.

01:09I have no doubt whatsoever that the cat was thinking dinner if she had seen them

01:17either maybe a couple of hours before or a couple of hours after.

01:19I have no doubt that she would have put the napkin around her neck,

01:22knife and fork, salt and pepper, the whole lot.

01:25But it was when they came to move the unusual family into a safer spot

01:30that they got an even greater surprise.

01:33As soon as we lifted up the cat, that's when we were totally amazed

01:37because the ducklings were actually latched on.

01:39They were hanging from her.

01:40Yeah, it was very bizarre.

01:42When we seen them breastfeeding, we just thought,

01:44oh my God, there's something very, very strange happening here

01:46and something very strange and also something very unique, you know.

01:49Duck mums don't produce milk and ducklings are born ready to find their own food and water from their surroundings.

02:00So to see them suckling a cat is extraordinary

02:04and their desire for warmth and comfort kept them close to their foster mother.

02:09There was just so much love there, you know, just to love each other,

02:12like you can't break this bond, it's amazing.

02:15Before long, the ducklings started to outgrow the kittens and gain their independence,

02:21something the cat wasn't so happy with.

02:24She was trying to bring him back underneath her and saying,

02:27I'd be good like your brothers and sisters.

02:29The kittens are still small and the ducks, although independent,

02:33still have an attachment to their surrogate mum.

02:36So it would seem that this rare coincidence of a cat giving birth just as the ducklings were making their first steps into the world,

02:47resulted in this remarkable situation.

02:50Filled with an instinct to mother small furry creatures,

02:54the cat ignored any natural urge to eat the ducklings and took them on as her own.

02:59Follow them on as her own.
