Baby squirrel adopted by mother cat

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2010/09/13/dnt.cat.takes.in.squirrel.WLBT?iref=allsearch

A mother kitten had adopted a baby squirrel, odd isn't it? The cat had just given birth to a new litter of kittens and her owners found a baby squirrel that had fallen out of a tree. The owner did not know how to climb trees to put the animal back, so she put the baby in a box with the kittens. The mother adopted the baby right away. The baby squirrel has adapted easily to the new family and has even learned how to purr when being pet! The squirrel can never be released back into the wild because it doesn't know how to fend for  its self.

How i feel
I think this is a very neat story. You don't hear about a squirrel being adopted by a cat every day. It if very sweet how the cat had adopted the animal. The thing that kind of bugs me though is, yes, any one with a heart would have brought in the squirrel, but the squirrel would never be with their original family ever again. The squirrel mother must have been very sad to find one of her baby's had dissapeard.
