‘Bird-brained’ cat gives birth to kittens... in a nest in Louth

The saying that cats always land on their feet may not apply to kittens who were born in a bird’s nest.

The nest, made of twigs and leaves, is precariously balanced among ivy branches some 8ft above the ground.

The discovery was made by animal lover Henry McGauley, who with his wife Fiona, runs Ardee Pet Supplies in Co Louth.
