Here’s a story guaranteed to melt your heart. In Mississippi a mother cat has adopted a tiny baby squirrel. But the tale doesn’t stop there.
We’ve seen many mother animals step up to nurture orphaned critters of many species, but few as adaptable as this tiny baby.
It seems the squirrel, who’s been dubbed Rocky, has learned to purr when he’s petted, just like his kitten brothers and sisters.
Only time will tell whether Rocky masters meowing, playing with balls of wool, or chasing mice like any good kitty would. But for now it seems he’s pretty happy in his new digs with his brand new mom. And that’s a happy ending in any language!
