There is this myth - something entirely made up and unbelievable - that cats are selfish creatures, that cats don't care, that cats only love when they can get something out of that love. But we know better. We, cat owners, we know that cats love, and they love hard. The story that you are about to read today, it is not the first story that we have seen of a cat taking care of a kitten that is not its own. We have seen it countless times. We have seen everything from cats adopting kittens from other litters to cats saving babies from freezing to cats adopting lynxes and raising them alongside their kittens.

Cats care. They're just picky about who they care for. But when you are chosen by a cat, nothing can undo it. And Binx, the hero of this story, has clearly chosen his new family.

According to Huffpost, the kitten was deemed "the most responsible kitten in the world" after being found watching over three kittens whose mother couldn't be found anywhere. The little hero was named Binx. "[T]he person who found them told us that he's been taking care of babies, and we think this is about the cutest thing ever"

Realizing that the kittens shouldn't be separated, the person who rescued them brought them to the shelter together. Although the kittens needed their mother at this young stage, Binx was looking out for the "little ones" and doing his best to take care of them. No one knows what happened to the mother, but all four kittens - Binx, Ollie, Frankie and Ziggy - are "doing great so far". All the kittens went to a foster home together, "because how could we split them up?"
