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.

Unfortunately, the mother hedgehog and one hoglet died. And although five of the litter survived, they had little chance – it seemed that there was no one to take care of them. "They were very small, blind. They didn't even have any spikes. I felt incredibly sorry for the babies, and I took them home," Ekaterina continued. At first she tried to feed them from a pipette with milk, but to no avail. In a panic, she called a veterinarian acquaintance, who told her to try and find a nursing cat.
