cat-dog?

There is a bizarre story out of Brazil claiming that a cat called Mimi gave birth to a litter of three kittens (all died) and three pups three months after mating with a her dog neighbour, called Dog.

Mimi's person is called Cassia Aparecida de Souza who is 18 years old and a student, and they live in Passo Fundo in Rio Grande do Sul, along with Cassia's husband Rogerio.

Blood samples have been taken from the kitten-pups which look like pups by a genetist from the Passo Fundo University to verify the outlandish claim.










See - Gazeto do Povo (if you can read Portuguese)

This claim is just plain absurd. For a start, cats and dogs do not have the same number of chromosomes.

.........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo..........

I had a visitor today. Woohoo! Kettles' human Klaudia came over in the evening to cuddle me so I laid on her lap a bit. She then helped my human to make an asparagus, roast pumpkin, chicken and Roquefort cheese risotto. My human learnt another method of cooking risotto.

I ate most of my breakfast this morning and my dinner tonight.

I don't have any further information about Hagrid from next door. My human suspects that Hagrid may have been murdered (by a vet).
