After their mother rejected her litter, a kitchen’s cat has "adopted" red panda cub in what can be called an inter-species nursing phenomenon.

National Geographic News has the video footage: Link – Thanks Marilyn!

    As much as I loved reading about this when the story came out...it was reported a couple of days ago that the baby red panda has died... Tsk tsk, bad reporting.

    The word 'link' has no link in it - where is the video?

    Jesus Christ! You could have warned us that the baby panda died

    What looks like a sweet, heartwarming story is actually qiute tragic and upseting

    Can you change the title/post so that other readers don't walk into the same trap I did?
