An ordinary domestic cat has adopted a baby lynx called Nika at the Novosibirsk Zoo in the city of Novosibirsk, Thursday.

One of the zoo workers noticed that the mother of the lynx refused to feed her cub because it was the runt of the litter and decided to find an innovative solution. One employee brought her cat to the zoo after it recently gave birth to kittens and soon the pet started to nurse the little lynx along with her own brood.
