Protective Cheddar Kitty Assumes Mother Role to Little Chickens When She Thinks an Eagle Flies Overhead

Animals are constantly surprising us here at ICanHas. It's kind of our job to cycle through endless pawdorable content, and you'd think at some point it would feel redundant, but every day we come across an amazing kitty who has some pretty special talent, or high-level instincts in this case. When you think of the kinds of animals that are used for protection an image of a guard dog probably appears in your mind and it is true, they are excellent protectors with strong senses of smell and instincts. But today the protective animal we came across was one adorable cheddar kitty.

Ever seen a cat protect a bird? Well, today is your lucky day. Now without further ado…

Let's Watch

The text in the video says: The kitten mistook the swallow on the roof for an eagle and rushed to protect the chick.

This adorable video has over 8.4 million views and people were clearly taken back by the unmatched relationship these animals from two total different specials must have.

Let's take a look at some of the best comments:
