IT's enough to make Looney Tunes' famous animated cat, Sylvester, weep.
A feline has shown that maternal instincts can overcome predatory ones by adopting seven chicken chicks to bring up with its own kittens.
Nimra, a one-year-old cat in the city of Madaba which lies just south of Amman in Jordan, has been looking after the chicks since their mother hen died a month ago.
After recently giving birth to four kittens Nimra keeps them and her unlikely extra brood together in a cardboard box.
If the chicks wander too far onlookers say Nimra will gently pick them up in her mouth and take them back to the box.
