Post by: Beccles on November 18, 2006, 00:26:37 AM: It did get mentioned somewhere but I've lost it in allllllll the posts.

Its blatantly a fake anyway, those are some very cute puppies but no way did they come out of a cat. They wouldn't even be able to implant canine embryos into a cat and gestate them successfully, the cat's immune system would reject them very quickly and there would be blood incompatibilities etc.

Post by: CurlyCatz on November 19, 2006, 20:57:16 PM: well i'm not believing that, even if the mating took place which i doubt the conception wouldnt be viable,

having said that they said zebra and horse couldnt mate either but that has happened..however thats a little more believable as they are basically cousins, unlike dog and cat !
