Emma and Ronan Lally are proud owners of a farm in Clara, Ireland where an unusual thing happened not long ago. They were impatiently waiting for a few little ducklings to hatch, so they entered the farm one day and checked on the eggs. To their surprise, the hatched ducklings were nowhere to be found although discarded egg shells were in the hay!

They started looking for the ducklings in panic and noticed their cat Della with one of them in her mouth! They thought that Della ate the poor duckling and took it away from her only to find the duckling unhurt. It seemed like Della was gently carrying the tiny ducklings away from harm. Sometime later, they found all 3 ducklings safe snuggling under Della. They were obviously looking for something to keep them warm and safe and Della’s mommy instincts kicked in. You see, the cat just had a litter of 3, so she knew what she was doing.

As ducks grow much faster than kittens, however, they soon became a bit too much for the cat. They are still following Della around, who’s having her hands full with her own babies. Take a look at a video of Della and the 3 cute ducklings below:

Read these characteristics which almost all cat lovers have in common:

INTROVERTED AND SENSITIVE

It’s the nature of cats that they are not friends with everybody, and the same trait can be seen in their owners too. Usually, they live alone and are happy with their independent lifestyle. They are introverts but are comfortable hanging around with other people. However, they would need some me-time to relax and recharge.

CAT LOVERS LEAN TO LEFT

It has been observed that people with liberal political leanings prefer cats over dogs. You might be a liberal dog lover or a conservative cat owner; if you’re a liberal, you love cats and vice versa.

CAT OWNERS ARE OPEN-MINDED

Five traits – conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness are often seen in most cat lovers. As compared to dog owners, people who have cats as pets are more open and therefore, have greater artistic creativity.

ATTENTION SEEKERS

Just like their pets, cat lovers seek attention from people around them. They like to be the centre of all conversations. At times, cat owners rely on their pets for emotional support.

THEY RESPECT CATS MORE THAN ANYONE

Cat people respect cats more than humans, in general. The saddest sight for a cat lover is to see the animal on the streets without a home. Cat lovers are often seen making a special effort to rescue or rehabilitate homeless cats.
