What??







A cat, Mimi, nurses what its owner Cassia Aparecida de Souza claims are Mimi's own offsprings born with dog traits last Friday, three months after mating with a neighbour's dog, in the southern Brazilian city of Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul state, November 15, 2006. A geneticist from the Passo Fundo University plans to take blood samples from the animals to verify the claim by Cassia and her husband Rogerio that the puppies are part of Mimi's litter of six, of which the three that were born with cat features died soon after birth, leaving the surviving three dog-like offsprings.

Is that even like. Genetically possible?

I am thoroughly freaked out as I had a dream last night about a dog (running with a big pack of other dogs) that had a bunny/cat face. :/ *shivers*

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

hahahahha!!

[squarewave.livejournal.com]

You know.......

On this one, I am stumped.

You can look here for some other crazy stories about "mutant offsprings"

http://www.messybeast.com/marten-cat.html

But, I am not sure about this.

Not sure at all....

"bunnie cats" have a genetic deformity that make their legs like that. people BREED them that way.

Hi there!

Then please allow me to be the first to comment:

"Fire and Brimstone from the sky!"
"Seas boiling!"
"Dogs and cats - living together ... Mass hysteria!!"

[bows] Thank you, thank you ...

*giggles*

what did you DO, ray!?

[singingmollusk.livejournal.com]

I loooooove Ghostbusters, omg.. :D

thanks for da smile!!!!!!!!!

[dawaioser.livejournal.com]

OMG, thank you for being someone else who thought of it. I love that movie. The quote was eating my brain...*giggles*.

[thunderslug.livejournal.com]

Genetically, it shouldn't be. They have *radically* different numbers of chromasomes...so I can't see how the haploid cells can meet and greet.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

see. i knew there was a reason that they weren't running rampant.

[fairyrune]

They're being genetically tested by a laboratory. I think it's a hoax.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

i think it is too. i wonder if i'll hear about the results.

[hunnysun.livejournal.com]

Why would the ones that look like CATS die?
Retarded.

Sounds like a load to me.

and in honor of the comment up ^there^ i give you my ray peekture.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

i love that icon.

i'm thinking. the cats kittens died. and a dog had too many puppies. so they gave the puppies to the cat to nurse. cause animals do that. i've seen pigs suckle from tigers. it happens.

[rivendellelf23.livejournal.com]

Dood. That is some freaky shit. I think it's a hoax. Cats and Dogs aren't genetically compatable.

Weird.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

that's what i'm sayin.

[singingmollusk.livejournal.com]

soooooooo... what kinds of tests do you think they will actually do??

Like, say, do you think they will do a CAT scan??

**cries from bad-pun laughter** oh... *wipes eyes* I love being able to amuse myself so damn easily, lololol

[odogonefishin.livejournal.com]

bad Mollusk! no cookie!

[sungodincarnate.livejournal.com]

Okay - those are some big ass puppies. If that cat got knocked up by a dog, that had to be a big fcuking dog . . . and that cat has to be looser than Paris Hilton.

I don't believe it. If it was true, Tom Brokaw would be all over that shit.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

hahahah

[fairyrune]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet how PISSED OFF that cat looks!

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

hahaa.. like "STOP HOLDING ME UP BY MY HEAD!!"

[gothhippiegrrl.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I'm too fixated on that chick's cleavage in the first picture to be of any use in this discussion.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

*bwhahaha*

i like the chipped black nail polish

.....this is like that South Park episode where Garrison is discussing evolution. "So you're the result of five monkeys fucking a fish squirrel. Congratulations!"

Y'know, it begs the question. Dogs and cats have different methods of sex. Male cats have a spiky penis, that they yank out when done. Not pleasant for the female. But dogs penises swell up when ejaculating, and stay swollen till well after the semen start their merry way to do their job. Ensures that the dog'll be the parent, and not some other dog that fucks her after him. I wonder, if this turns out to be true, whether the cat prefers one way or the other.

And genetic & mechanic differences aside, how can they even TEST for something like this? I mean, if they HAVE different numbers of chromosomes, wouldn't it beg the question whether the puppie-kitties would have the same number of chromosomes as the father, the mother, or a completely different number from either? I'm rusty on my genetics, so I don't know.

[singingmollusk.livejournal.com]

I really ... really... do not want to know, but ... "spikey penis"???? wtf??

The mental image was... " --^-^-^> aaaaaahrg!!!"

[blueyz72.livejournal.com]

Damnm, Ouch. Poor pussy (and yes I mean that in both ways!!)

As far as the testing. I'm sure they can determine at this point if it is cat or dog DNA. Different gene sequences, but not hard in today's world.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

jes jes jes

[blueyz72.livejournal.com]

It's got to be hype, I'm guessing the cat is just nursing the pups.

Genetically not a match, not even close to same species.
Geez, now I'm flashing to discussion with one class today. We just started genetics, the book shows crosses of different rabbits and cats so we discussed hybrid animals.

Ligers & Tigons- yes
Zorse and Zonkey -yes
Cama - yes
Wolphin -yes

Dog & Cat - will not mix to reproduce offspring

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

i've seen all those mixes. they's so cute :D

[makiieris.livejournal.com]

Hahaha chicken butt ^.^ ...wait what, puppies? kitties? tehehe

[asawaterfall.livejournal.com]

It can't be real.. can it? I am so confused.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

i don't think so... nope. don't think so.

[hunnysun.livejournal.com]

clickie clickie"

Saw this & had to report. :)

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

HAHA!
