Male cat adopted a kitten

[topum]

Mugurel, our hosts' male cat brought a little kitten from somewhere. He carries the kitten around the garden, licks him, brings him food and sleeps next to him as if he is the kitten's mother.

Mugurel is a fierce fighter, a prolific lover and never lets people touch him. The kitten also does not let humans approach him but seems really attached to Mugurel. Wherever the kitten goes Mugurel follows him. The kitten is very skinny but eats well.

I don't have any experience with cats, especially the ones that roam free. Is it something that happens every now and then? Our hosts have never seen something like this before.

Mostly outdoor. He would never be in the same room with people (that shed is only for the cats). Also our hosts never actually got him anywhere, he just showed up as a young cat, they fed him a couple of times and he stayed.

Yes, they are fun. We have been laughing at Mugurel and his adopted baby all day.
