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 professional added that only 30 percent of nursing cats agree to take care of other animal's offsprings. "It so happened that our Murka had given birth to a kitten three weeks before. So I brought her the hedgehogs. The cat immediately accepted them as her own," the woman explained. So Murka has been feeding five hedgehogs for three weeks now. By the way, they have already grown spikes and opened their eyes. Kitten and hedgehogs seem to consider each other as one family.
