China: Copycat? Missing Pet Cat Found “Hatching” Eggs Alongside Hens in Guizhou

On April 18, 2026, in Guizhou, a video recorded a pet owner searching around the house for a missing cat. The cat was eventually found inside a paper box lined with straw. The male cat was lying there completely still, as if guarding something. Nearby, two other boxes each contained a hen sitting on eggs, which appeared to explain the scene. Once the owner looked more closely and lifted the cat’s paws, two eggs were revealed underneath. The cat had apparently settled into the straw and copied the hens by sitting over the eggs as if trying to hatch them.

(220321) -- TIANJIN, March 21, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Geng Tian (front) uses a paper box as a makeshift desk at a nucleic testing base in north China's Tianjin, March 19, 2022. Geng Tian, 49, is a medical worker with Tianjin First Hospital. Amid the recent COVID-19 resurgence, Geng is in charge of managing nucleic acid samples testing at a local testing base, which has daily testing capability of over 15,000 tubes. To ensure the smooth operation with faster speed, Geng works around the clock every day in a clean corridor with a length of 30 meters in the base. His makeshift desk is made of two paper boxes, on which he waits for new batches of samples coming in, screens samples and sometimes takes a nap for a short break. Just like Geng, other medical workers in the base are on duty day and night, in a hope of bringing the epidemic under control and resuming residents' usual hustle and bustle soon.
