The mother cat takes care of the chicks as if they were her own children.

Modern cats are largely domesticated, and many owners mistakenly forget that these animals are predators, and their instincts have not gone away. I think you yourself have often noticed how your cat sneaks around and tries to hunt. There is nothing surprising in this, just like the fact that your pet brings its prey to your door or into your bed. No matter how much you resist this behavior from your pet, remember: this is a product of instinct that has helped cats survive for thousands of years in the wild. It's precisely because of these same instincts that British farmers Ronan and Emma Lally were concerned when their cat went missing along with a brood of newly hatched ducklings. What happened next shocked everyone.

It turns out that their cat herself recently became a mother, and a powerful maternal instinct has erased for her all the differences between her own kittens and ducklings that are completely different from them. She cares for the chicks as if they were her own children, and this is truly a case where domestication has won.
