Purrfect Parenting: A Cat's Unusual yet Adorable Adoption of a Baby Otter (Pictures and Video)

This adorable momma cat is fostering an orphaned otter pup at a cat cafe in Vietnam. We don't have too many details on why the little otter pup was orphaned, but the important part is that it found a loving mother to take care of it. Cats are really good at this, taking in babies that aren't their own kittens. It goes to show that love goes beyond blood and outer appearances, and how strong an instinct can be to protect a child in need.

This heartwarming story is a great addition to a purrfect Sunday, snuggling under the covers and staying warm (and preferably not thinking about starting a new week tomorrow). Get cozy, grab your nearest, fluffiest stuffed animal (or pet, if you have one), and hold them as close as this foster momma is holding her new baby. Lots of love, ICanHas-ers!
