A Yiddish proverb

[nu57]

Does someone know the Yiddish analogue of the Russian proverb "Яблоко от яблони недалеко падает" (literally - "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree", the English "Like father, like son")?
Something about cat's babies inevitably mewing.

Thanks.

The one with mochikome it is :)

The opposite case (where the parent and the child are different) often uses 鳶（とび/tobi）and 鷹（たか/taka）where taka is a hawk and tobi is a kite (the bird).

A hawk is better than a kite. So, in the "good" direction, the standard proverb is "A kite birthed a hawk." 鳶が鷹を生む。

But you can find places where people flip it to make some commentary.

In Russian there is an "opposite direction": "A mountain gave birth to a mouse" ("Гора родила мышь"); this proverb originates apparently in the Greek proverb or in Aesop's fable.

And why a hawk is better than a kite, by the way?
