Dog gives birth to kitten
2004-08-31
People have flocked to a small village on the outskirts of Cambodia's capital after a man claimed that his ten-year-old pet dog has defied nature and the ancient tradition of her species reviling cats and given birth to a kitten.
Kerry was in Cambodia 35 years ago. Kerry had a dog. Kerry was in Cambodia. What did he do to that dog?
Owner Te Huot told Deutsche Presse-Agentur that his dog, called Knou, gave birth to a grey tabby kitten after he was visited by a forest monk who claimed that the dog had mated with a tiger.
WHAT DID HE DO TO THAT DOG?
He said it was only the second time in the dog's life that she had given birth, and that the first time, five years earlier, she had produced normal canine puppies.
Descendant of Kerry's dog?
However, he claimed that last Tuesday, Knou went into labour at his Chhbar Ampou village home and produced a single kitten.
It says "Meruff"?
The phenomenon has brought crowds thronging to Te Huot's home to burn incense and give donations towards the dog and its tiny kitten, which Te Huot says is a sign from the gods.
And a remnant of Kerry's visit and bringing in a mutant dog..
"This animal cries like a cat, and its face is like a cat, but its feet are bigger than a cat's and look more like a dog's feet," local media quoted Te Huot as saying. However, one visitor on Friday was less than impressed.
If it quacks like a duck?
"It is a kitten," the man told DPA. "I only went to see what it looked like, but when the owner told me I had to pray to the dog, I left. I don't believe him that this kitten came from his dog." Animal husbandry experts also cast doubts on the ability of a dog to give birth to a cat, but sheer curiosity value still saw hundreds of Cambodians mobbing the bemused new canine mother in a rush to witness the alleged strange birth for themselves.
My German Shepherd acted as a surrogate mother to a new kitten we got. She cleaned it, worried about it when it cried, etc. But a dog is a dog, and a cat is a cat. This no doubt will be in Weekly World News. But, the connection to Kerry's dog will be covered up by the media.

#6  Red-diaper baby anarchists have been known to give birth to normal human children, so I don't suppose this is impossible.

#5  Ship - the bandwidth is doing fine - I guess there are fewer people who care about the protest violence that I expected - so posting the vid link as a backup wasn't necessary. Sad.

I use CompuPic (not free) and it kicks ass. I've been using this same guy's stuff since waaay bad in the early DOS days - he just writes the best code.

On the free side, there's not much... here's the tucows page for graphics organizers and there's only one. There are a shitload of categories - many with tools that also organize images - the tucows Multimedai page - the list is bottom left.

BTW, Fluffy looks unhappy... we should tread softly...
