Cats usually enjoy chicken in their food, but do they like real chickens as friends?
Well, three little kittens seem to love hanging out with a hen! Luckily, a farmer found them together and captured the adorable moment on camera. The video has almost 350,000 views on TikTok!
When Kurdish farmer Goran A. Surchi heard meowing coming from his chicken coop, he thought there might be a cat trying to hunt the chickens. But when he checked, there were no cats around. Yet, he still heard little kitten sounds.
Hen Lee sat calmly, making soft clucking sounds, not bothered by the cats nearby. As Goran walked closer, he noticed that the meowing sounds were coming from under her. Before he checked further, he grabbed his camera because he knew this would be an amazing sight.
Goran explained to Bored Panda, “When I figured out that the meowing was coming from under the chicken, I decided to record it so I wouldn’t miss this special moment.”
When Goran lifted the hen and her fluffy feathers, he found three tiny tabby kittens hiding underneath! But these kittens weren’t shy at all. They quickly greeted Goran from the safety of their adopted mother’s warmth and protection.
Where is Mom?
While the kittens were safe with chicken mom Lee, a question still lingered, where was their mother?
Unfortunately, Goran found out that the hen had drowned in a lake near the farm. Somehow, the chicken named Lee sensed that the kittens were alone and needed a mother.
“It’s incredible how our chicken seemed to understand what happened and decided to take care of the kittens,” Goran said.
More proof that animals are pure souls and we love them so much for it! As for the kittens, Goran posted a video to TikTok two days after finding Lee and the kittens, revealing the discovery of another mom cat and her kittens.
Purrhaps Lee’s furry brood will be able to have some playdates with them, while Goran supervises, of course. After all, cats love chicken, and while the kittens may not be hungry for Lee, the newly discovered mom is a feisty thing who looks like she would certainly enjoy a taste of fresh hen!
