A baby robin is spending some quality time with some friendly cats in southwestern Michigan.

MLive.com reports Karin Caston's cats have accepted the bird, named Peeps, since she found it about two weeks ago in her yard in Allegan County's Otsego Township, 35 miles south of Grand Rapids.

The bird lives in a cage, but spends time nestled in the fur of two of Caston's cats or perched on their backs. A third cat lets the bird walk around it.

Until the kitten gets hungry.

A delightful sight sorely needed given the times we live in.

Thank you.

[Slings and Arrows]

My pleasure.

What the.............? I'd like to know the secret behind this. My Dachshunds won't even give my wife's cats a break. They think they're snack food.

Shame that this bird will be jacked by another cat when the time comes.

If the kind lady doesn’t get “jacked” first by the Michigan State wildlife authorities SWAT Team for keeping a wild bird in her home...

Thanks. You're a lot of help.
