“Mother hen” is no figure of speech: this hen really is acting as a mother to three kittens. It’d never happen in the wild, but once you domesticate animals, all bets are off.

Fed, yes–and put in one’s lap and petted.
The nurturing instinct runs deep. We all love baby animals and apparently animals love baby animals of other species. Just another facet of God’s glory.
I had a pet mouse who insisted on grooming my mustache. She had a very exacting standard.
