he owls and pussycats who live up a tree
Confused mother gives birth to four kittens in nesting box 20ft up (after previous owners moved out)
Having a catflap-sized hole and being far away from foxes is a decent outdoor home for any moggy. But you wouldn’t have expected this black and white cat to move into an owl box 20ft up an old oak tree - clambering up and giving birth to four cute kittens there.
The box, which was put up on private woodland near Rugby, Warwickshire, around four years ago to attract more wildlife to the area, had previously been home to a family of Little Owls, reported the Daily Mail. But the newborn cats are now honing their hunting skills and leaping between branches on the tree. Photographer Paul Bunyard saw them relaxing in the sun and poking their heads through the box’s catflap sized hole. daily times monitor
