Cat Adopts Five Baby Hedgehogs After Their Mother Is Killed by Hay Mower (Video)

In Russia’s Rostov region, a cat called Murka became the mother of five hoglets whose mother recently died in an accident. Murka’s owner, Ekaterina Semenova, told the correspondent of KP – Rostov-on-Don about the big heart of an ordinary cat. According to her account, about three weeks ago workers were mowing hay near their house when something terrible happened.

"The grass was up to their shoulders. They were working with a special hay mower – a trimmer. And so it happened that the machine went over the hedgehogs' nest. Only after the grass was cut, we saw that there was a mother and a brood of hoglets," Semenova recalled. Murka feeds five hedgehogs and a kitten. Photo: Ekaterina Semenova
