This is the heartbreaking moment a litter of kittens lie on the floor motionless or barely moving after apparently falling through the ceiling where the mother cat had decided to climb in order to give birth.

The roof space had apparently been okay initially when the kittens were born, but as they started to grow larger it could no longer bear their weight and the tile gave way, dropping them on the floor in the office in the city of Hefei in the eastern Chinese province of Anhui on 14th May.

Office worker Mr Li said that seven kittens fell from the ceiling through a broken tile and landed hard on the floor, adding that it could not bear the weight of the slowly growing litter.

In the footage, six of the seven kittens are seen lying on the floor, some of them motionless and others barely moving, as the mother cat appears from behind a sign to check on them. It is believed the mother cat had already collected one of them when the man started filming.

Mr Li then films the broken ceiling tile from where they apparently fell.

In the second heartbreaking clip, the mother car is seen inspecting her fallen litter before disappearing behind the sign.

Mr Li said: “I was shocked when I saw the kittens on the floor and I was worried that they would not survive so I put them in a cardboard box.”

It is unclear if any kittens died in the fall and whether the worker took them to a vet for treatment.
