Clip of ducklings suckling Clara cat viewed by more than 15,000

Clara cats are certainly one of a kind. A two minute clip uploaded to YouTube yesterday (Thursday) shows a mother cat in the Offaly town breastfeeding her own kittens along with three adopted orphaned ducklings.

The clip was recorded by RTE's Mooney Show, and inspired conversation on the Radio 1 show yesterday afternoon.

Already the clip has attracted over 15,000 views on the video sharing site, as well as more than 20 comments.

One comment expressed understandable amazement that ducklings would suckle a cat, while a second called it 'unbelievable' and another 'not natural' but yet 'amazing'.

Others suggested that a mother's instinct supersedes all boundaries, and that the scene was 'nature at its best'.

Have a look at the clip here and let us know what you think.
