Did this cat breed with a dog?

This is Mimi, the first cat to give birth to puppies, her owner claims. Brazilian Cassia Aparecida de Souza, 18, says three of the cat’s six offspring, which were born three months after Mimi mated with a neighbour’s dog, have canine traits.

WOW! If they could only talk! What an opportunity it would be for Oprah!

Seriously though – this is EXTREMELY unlikely. A wolf-dog or coy(ote)-dog, or liger is one thing, but the genetic probabilities of a dog-cat thing are vanishingly small.

Some sort of strange adoption is more likely – cat replacing kittens that died.
