    From ABC news courtesy of National Geographic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxYiLzWee84

    And more on the specific relationship between the crow and the cat:

    Very touching true stories. If we could only know WHAT made the difference in all those cases!!! How born enemies, i.e. predators and preys can ignore their natural instincts and become the best of friends and sometimes even offer their protection.. To note that often it's the adult females who adopts the baby preys. Thanks Brad, so many of your videos are wonderful lessons for the the youngsters. I have a collection to show the little ones in Montevideo, not that they need encouragement to be kind to animals they ALL are. Thanks for finding these wonderful videos for us. Gladys

    Brad, great videos. The video of the crow and the kitten was very sweet. And the couple who observed and filmed them seemed like such nice people. Really enjoyed it!

    I've seen this before but it was lovely to watch again! A good 'feel-good' video.
