A mother cat in China has adopted a mouse, letting it join her family of newborns.
The cat was brought into a children's clothing store to catch mice, reports Yanzhao City News.
Ten days ago, the cat gave birth to five kittens.
"She stays in the box all day long, taking care of her babies, but three days ago, my colleague found a small mouse playing with the kittens," said a spokesperson for the store in Shijiazhuang city.
"The cat was protecting the mouse, and would become alert if anyone came too close."
The store staff threw the mouse out once, but immediately the cat ran to bring it back and let it play with her kittens.
Experts say it's quite exceptional, but that maybe the cat became lenient after becoming a mother.

A new generation of kitties taught to accept mice as one of their own. PC has gone berserk, and the cats no longer earn their room and board.

BUT.......when the cat gets hungry enough, the kittens will feed, IT’S THE LAW!
To: FairOpinion
That’s either an awful small cat, or a very big mouse...Those kittens have their eyes open, which means they are at least two weeks old...
Cute!

Actually, if the kittens are not taught that the mouse is food, they will never eat one. This is the danger of mainstreaming abnormal behavior by the PC crowd to our children.
