A video has emerged of an unusual bonding between a mother cat and a puppy in central India's Madhya Pradesh state.

The video, shot in Betul district of the state, showed the cat feeding the puppy its milk.

Reports said both the animals belong to local resident Sunderlal Pawar.

Pawar had the cat, Chini and its kitten Mini, when it decided to bring home the puppy, Tommy. As soon as the new member arrived, Chini took it under its wing and is raising the puppy as its own.

The mother feline not only feeds it, but also keeps an eye on the baby dog.

Generally, cats shy away from dogs, but, not this feline, she loves being around the puppy.

Meanwhile, the unusual relationship between two different species of animals have made them the local celebrities. People from far and near have thronged to Pawar's place to get a glimpse of the bonding.
