Crow and Kitten are Friends

I found this video clip while looking through some old VHS tapes I had laying around. This was recorded by my mother around 1999/2000; I'm glad she had the blank tape ready to go in the recorder when the show "Miracle Pets" came on.
If anyone knows the current situation of these two friends, please post, we're all curious.
You might notice at 2:16 she dials the typical "555" number but then the scene switches to the front of the vet clinic. From the video clip, it's easy to see the phone number of the clinic on the sign in front and then google the rest:
Meker Veterinary Clinic
649 Washington St
South Attleboro, MA 02703

You're welcome, you can thank my Mom! She taped it on VHS for me back around 2000 because she knew I liked birds. And then I bought this device from Best Buy called Dazzle that lets you convert VHS to DVD, .mpg format etc. I found that story on a pile of dusty tapes I had laying around and decided to try-out the device on it. Glad you enjoy, would love to know what the status is now with those two buddies.

[@breadman0]

Thank you and your mom

[@tonyrodriguez6927]

Seeing this for the first time in 2022, I’m so happy they caught this on camera. It shows things in life aren’t just black and white, there’s plenty of things we don’t know or understand. I’m glad they had an amazing life together.

[@JayJr2007]

Crows are incredible animals.

[@LuciusRingwald]

JayJr2007 there are a couple of amazing Ted Talks on crows and/or corvids.

[@danielrussell2190]

Different communities of crows around the world have different cultures and social rules. It's quite amazing. But as for the crows in Seattle, I spent a lot of time watching them at the UW, and I can tell you that they not only watch out for their own kind, but also other birds. When a robin or some other baby bird was injured from falling out of their nest, the crows would defend it vigorously, flying circles around the tree and squawking (I believe to alert the far off parents who were probably off collecting the day's food or something.) And if you got near the fallen baby, the crows would start attacking you. I saw this many times. They never attacked or ate the fallen birds but merely fended off any other threats. They would even dive and attack racoons that were going after other bird species. But one time, I took a robin that had fallen about 20 feet from its nest. My goal was to get it to a vet for help (I later learned it would have been better to simply climb up the to the nest to return it and hope for recovery). I was on foot on the campus. I headed to the library to google for open vets (this was before smart phones). About a hundred crows chased me all the way to the library across the large campus. They yelled at me and dived on me the whole time. They waited outside the library, where I was for probably 20 minutes desperately trying to find a single open vet on a Sunday (there were none), or some kind of campus facility (there were none). They resumed their diving and cawing when I exited. The whole day, wherever I went in the city they followed me. Eventually the baby bird died. :( The crows were pissed at me and for the rest of my student years on campus, whenever they spotted me, they would dive and caw at me wherever I went. They recognized and remembered me. The crazy part is, there was this one crow who wasn't with them at the time. He was the friendliest crow and spent his time begging for food along with the squirrels, coming very very close to humans. He was probably hanging out at the spot where people do that at the time. The other crows would yell at him and chide him for approaching me for food later on, if they were in the area. I became their unwitting enemy because I messed with that poor robin.

[@nina-he1dj]

That was really cool of you to try to help that robin.

[@danielrussell2190]

Haha.. thanks... Sadly, I sort of killed it by giving it anxiety. :*( It would have died anyway, obviously, from starvation and predation. But it was terrified of me holding it and it's heart was racing. I read later that this would happen in general and that's why you should place them back in the nest if it's a smaller, more nervous species.

[@nina-he1dj]

Daniel Russell aww, well your heart was in the right place, and you learned better.

[@Metsada007]

Unbelievable, amazing birds.

[@Vaninasanta]

Ohhh... my.... Goood....!!! Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your story. I now have a complete different view on crows. Incredible creatures, indeed :)

[@maximus9080]

Growing up we had a kitten, puppy and a pigeon that were best friends and would follow each other around the house and play. They would even sleep together at night to keep warm. The pigeon couldn't fly because it injured her wings so she would just walk around the house and spend time with her friends.

[@CommanderVenus1983]

Genuinely one of the best videos on KZbin, God bless that couple for recording all the footage.

[@betsjuso]

Crows are extremely smart and they keep are roads clean from road kill..

[@Altysay]

If you feed them long enough and are nice to them, they'll bring you gifts.

[@Scottish4evr]

Fleas

[@Trancedkitten]

I remember watching this on animal planet a while back and it is one of my favorite episodes! It's amazing how they get along and take care of each other

[@dienichtganzanonymeananas]

Wanna be reminded that this exists?

[@jimr8198]

We were on vacation on Bonaire in the Caribbean, and the house next to us had a dog that would bark a lot. One day I was outside and could hear 2 dogs barking at each other, and they wouldn't stop. I went over to look at what was goung on and there was one dog in the yard and a Parrot in the tree that would bark at the dog to get him going.

[@alberttwo68]

Probably, in past, they were close friends in another life and finally today their souls met each other

[@ayoung5527]

This is so cute it brings tears to my eyes!

[@Silver54ful]

How can you not feel at peace after watching this? This is absolultley beautiful. :)

[@Econ1260MetZRoberto]

I had to literally restrain myself from crying in front of my family when this was on What a touching story!

[@nikkicraft]

In a world of so much pain and harm this is an amazingly wonderful and uplifting video. thank you. i needed this especially tonight.

[@1971SuperLead]

I saw this clip in 2000. A few years later my girlfriend asked me what was the most amazing thing I've ever seen on TV. I told her about this video and in less than 2 minutes I got to see this video again on TV! It's one of the spookiest things ever in my life. It still brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Jesus...

[@stevenalvarado1202]

1 day away from 2023 and just now watching this. Amazing. All of this.

[@BabyKitten199]

That was too cute for words!!! What a blessing those two creatures are for each other!!!

[@dienichtganzanonymeananas]

I bet you are like super old now! :P

[@Lavenderrose73]

That is just darling! And we can learn a lot from such unprejudiced animals. Miracle Pets has brought tears to my eyes more than once! And I'm a lifetime cat lover to begin with, especially kittens. : ) Purr...

[@anniemcu]

I witnessed a game of tag between a crow and a rabbit one day. It was absolutely amazing. Funny and inspiring to see that nature allows fun and games to cross such boundaries as species. You'd think that it would be easier to have it work across a single species, like humankind.

[@maggiemcneill8338]

Precious! : ) I also loved this New England couple. It reminds me of my years living in Maine and Vermont. Honest souls and friendly neighbours.

[@Mikeanglo]

Crows and Ravens are incredible animals. Intelligent, social, and cunning, too... They're considered pests in many places and they're so smart it's not really hard to see why. I've had crows steal car parts just because they were shiny, and living in the country with chickens I've caught them stealing feed every other day it seems like. Some people shoot them and want them off their property, but I really like them. I've seen them do some interesting stuff, and given their intelligence I'm interested enough in them to let them stay..even if it costs me an extra 5 bucks a month in feed.

[@mayaspalace]

Aaaaw...this brings tears of joy to my eyes. I wish that humans got along like this. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Thanks for posting this!

[@dienichtganzanonymeananas]

Prepare for crying again muhahahha! (I hope you get a notification)

[@montrealstars60]

This is such a touching story... It shows to prove that the real animals in this world are PEOPLE. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful video with us all.

[@rockysjewel]

SO SO cute. Made tears in my eyes and that lump in your throat from something that jsut tugs at your heart. So sweet

[@donovan3476]

My absolute favorite animal video.

[@janetburtnick9235]

Moses stopped coming in 2004. Probably passed. Also believed Moses was a female who lost her eggs/brood and still had mothering instincts with Cassie. Ann passed away in 2006; age77. Wally passed in 2018 shy of his 99th birthday. Cassie passed in 2014 at age 15. In 2011 Lisa Fleming wrote "Cat and Crow: an amazing friendship" for children with photos, newspaper clippings, illustations. If you google cat and crow, Cassie and Moses quite a few articles.

[@torontogal38]

Most incredible and beautiful video! :). I have to keep watching it over and over again. Thanks for posting. I

[@readynow12345]

That has got to be the most incredible thing I have ever seen, very touching almost brought a tear to my eye, maybe we should all learn from these two and quit hating each other so much think about how much better the world would be, if people didn't have worry about the most basic things and needs..

[@CorrectsYou]

Corvids are more intelligent than parrots..they show many emotions, including affection, jealously, curiosity and so on..they will make their own toys in the wild, and tech other crows how to use them just for the fun of it..they hold grudges, and remember faces..they are the product of 150 million years of refined evolution..

[@LuciusRingwald]

There is video from Russia of a crow who makes an improvised snowboard and proceeds to repeatedly ski down a snowy, sloping rooftop.

[@alialtaf3412]

Cockatoo are as much intelligent as crow, raven and magpie(which are subspecies of crow)

[@blacklight4720]

My favourite 2 animals.

[@phoebecatgirl9968]

Me, too!

[@marioncapriotti1514]

I'm so old, I remember when this was a new thing -- so glad to see that younger people are seeing it now. Still as heartwarming and adorable as it was 25 years ago!

[@montelimartju0448]

Thank you this is wonderful to see that frendship come in any way, shape and size i love it!!!!!!! thank you for posting this video

[@karenpelky1789]

This is so sweet! Goes to show you anyone can become friends. I think sometimes the animal life is smarter than us.

[@mdcisneros1]

Now this is a strange but so sweet friendship.

[@HuggzFaerie]

This is such a beautiful video and a true lesson for all of us to learn from - no matter how different that we may be from others, we can still learn to trust and get along with one another.

[@readynow12345]

Simply amazing, I'm in awe seeing this, if someone told me a story like this I would not believe them with out seeing for my self, so please respect wildlife & realize just how beautiful it really is, we could all learn a lesson from these two wonderful creatures..

[@Osmone_Everony]

I wonder why it took 16 days for that woman to get the idea to feed the cat.

[@katlia5681]

this was 1999, i wonder what happened to them now.

[@neroysc]

dead.....lol

[@emwjmannen2]

neroysc Crows in nature usually get 10-15 years old, but some even up to 40 years old so this one could be alive. Heck, even the cat could still be alive...

[@emwjmannen2]

neroysc Cats can get over 20 years old in some extreme cases!

[@Trund27]

At least they are captured on video.

[@katlia5681]

hi lisa. oh, i wanna cry. so she just passed away? i remember watching this video long time ago with my cat and my mom, i just graduated from college then. and i can't forget this story. it's truly amazing that animals are just like us. well, she's in a better place now. thanks for sharing. luv your page by the way. merry christmas.

[@DaCatOnTop]

The most amazing video Ive ever seen about animals! Warmed my heart and spirit!

Simply Amazing, and a wonderful message to us all. Thank you for sharing.

[@michelebussanemail8531]

[@amitavamanna2696]

The friendship we never learnt. Not even after this. What iswrong with us?

[@73roadrunner1]

This a Video To Keep, Always !! Thank You so Much for shareing this with all of us !! Take Care !!

[@bombdiggity8179]

Love it! Amazing video! Can't wait to see what else you guys come out with.

[@ozricus]

Alan Thicke died today :( RIP

[@Scottish4evr]

should have the crow & cat for company then

[@machabeleloka318]

The old man in this episode looks like an elderly retired Jim Carrey 😄

[@anniemcu]

I witnessed a game of tag between a crow and a rabbit one day. It was absolutely amazing. Funny and inspiring to see that nature allows fun and games to cross such boundaries as species. You'd think that it would be easier to have it work across a single species, like humankind. Husband adds, "Soul mates find each other."

[@shellrosecreations]

I'm just so captivated by this video. It is really incredible!

[@ariellajasmine]

What happened to Moe/Moses? I understand Cassie passed away last month (so sorry!), but no mention of Moe. I hear that he was with her for 4 years. Did he just stop showing up or did he pass away, too?

[@ariellajasmine]

***** Awww, okay. Thank you for the update. I love crows and ravens. They are highly intelligent and very sociable. This story is so heartwarming. Thanks so much to all of you for sharing it!

[@sorchaoconnell4079]

Dawwww!!! :'D

[@kittylovingurl16]

aww such a cute kitty!

[@sorchaoconnell4079]

I'm just amazed the cat didn't EAT the bird! Maybe humans can learn from this...

[@Amy4Birds]

Thanks for posting that. It's amazing and wonderful.

[@Plingdom]

oh my god im actualy tearing up. this is the most beautyful thing i have ever seen

[@doubtful100]

Dear kat lia, in answer to your question about what they are doing now, AllanThicke is married for the 3rd time to a big breasted woman half his age and is part of a reality show where he has been known to text photos of his manhood to her. I assume the cat and the crow have lived more wholesome productive lives.

[@6Fiona6_P_6]

Darn it, if a Crow and a Cat can get along, why can't us Homosapiens get along with one another?☮

[@XiaoGuanYin104]

@Sound Jam homosapiens just means human...it has nothing to do with being gay. How did you manage to be so stupid?

[@nicolemclaughlin9858]

what an awesome video... thanks for sharing... loved it dearly

[@ellieroar]

We really enjoy your channel. Keep the clips coming :)

[@cannonfodder4376]

I am fucking crying.

[@bmessier2]

Oh please!

[@misanthrope8]

The narration is pretty corny and it didn't need the re-enactment piece, but the video portion with cat and crow is just lovely, I am such a fan of crows!!! Always wished one would land on my property and stay, but they visit and then depart. I've taken to tossing them peanuts (their favorite) during my mile walk to work. They do respond to my caws. I should start leaving necklaces out, they love jewelry. It bothered me that the homeowners always referred to the crow as "he." I know they didn't know the bird's sex, or the kitten's sex for that matter, and as the kitten grew I was thinking very nervously "spay or neuter, spay or neuter!" I do think the kitten would have survived without the crow. Many many feral cats survive. It wasn't "love" and it wasn't "friendship" (anthropomorphism anyone???), but it is charming for humans to watch. Most humans love birds, and many also like cats. Fourteen years ago. Alan Thicke is so much older now. HAHAHAHA

[@taergehtsiram]

I agree with everything you just said. I was going to type it all out, then I read your post and I don't have to. haha. The only thing is, I didn't know crows love jewelry. Fascinating.

[@XiaoGuanYin104]

Why would you say it wasn't friendship???

[@Numba003]

This is a sweet video. Thank you. I love both crows and cats, so I enjoy seeing them get along lol. God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)

[@LoisBryanPhotography]

what a beautiful story ... thank you for sharing this!!!!

[@footube666]

WTF, adding cat noises to the video??!?

[@venus1112]

Ravens feed people too. And they also alert other birds of predators and when they spot food for them to eat. 1 KINGS 17:4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

[@hamsterfuntime14]

It's a crow not raven it's a difference
