If you've ever had a kitten, you know they love sleeping right next to a ticking clock because it may feel like their mother's heartbeat. Well, this kitten doesn't need a ticking clock because she's got a clucking chicken for a mother!

"Big Wig," the hen, took "Tofu," the kitten, right under her wing... no questions clucked. The two have been inseparable since they first met.

On a particular day, when the two animals were in the front yard, "Tofu" wandered off down Coronado Street leaving "Big Wig" confused and upset for days not knowing what to cock-a-doodle do. The distraught chicken stayed in her basket for days refusing to eat or move.

Then, just like an answered prayer, a neighbor who saw a sign for the missing kitten brought her back to her home, originally thinking the cat was just feral.

Once again, hen and kitten are back to being basket buddies at home.
