Ex-cat-hating dog mothers four stray kittehs!

Ewa Beach sixth-grader Megumi Schultz was astounded when her cat-hating dog started breast-feeding feral kittens they found in her garden shed....

Snowie sniffed under the shed door and was scratched, apparently by a feral cat. When the girl returned with her father, Frank Schultz, they opened the shed to find a litter of four kittens. The feral mother cat darted away and hasn't returned....

"Snowie normally hates cats," said Frank Schultz. "She goes nuts. When we go for a walk, she'll chase 'em down the road. One time she chased one four blocks up into a tree and then tried to climb the tree. If she's not on the leash, she'll attack them."...

"Snowie just laid there and let them nurse," said Megumi. Now she is producing milk and feeding the kittens four to six times a day. She has never been pregnant or nursed before, but it is possible for females to lactate from nipple stimulation alone.

Oh yes, I am well aware that this thread is useless without...

1. Smart dog!

Seeing and taking the opportunity to raise her own personal cats for chase!

WTG, Snowie! :toast:


It really is sweet. And, it's always inspiring and humbling to see different species unconditionally help one another. :loveya:

4. Ouch! That definitely hits home out here

where my assistant constantly needles me about manapua (stuffed buns similar to dim sum)": "You know those are stuffed with cat, right?" (They're not.)

3. I wouldn't be surprised if the kittens started barking

chewing their humans' shoes, and peeing on a piece of newspaper. :silly:

10. What adorable animals. Kudos to the dog...

And the kittens are so incredibly adorable. I think that kittens have to be the cutest baby animals, though, since I adopt the older ones, I've only had three older cats, though I loved them a lot. And one puppy, who is sleeping behind me in my chair, as I write this... But these little ones are irresistable... :loveya:
