3. That's so precious

I had a Boxer who was like that - she'd lick the kitten so vigorously, he'd slide across the floor.

When we rescued a 10 day old kitten -- our basenji was so pleased she found all her toys and placed the toys on my husband's lap -- he was holding the kitten. She raised the kitten.

They remained the best of friends.

6. We had a bitch who lost her litter (uterine infection) so she adopted

one of the kittens our semi-wild mama cat had had under the garage.

Sadly, both critters came to a bad end by cars, albeit at different times. :(

7. Hee hee--your dog probably thought you got her the kitten as HER pet!

I saw a TV about animals making alliances like that--a dog who'd lost her litter and allowed the family parakeet to suckle her, a dog who'd go down to a pond and visit a fish, even a cat who protected a mouse from other cats! But I understand that cats have to be taught to go after mice by their mothers.

8. Our cat taught himself how to hunt mice

He was 10 years old before he caught his first mouse --

Now at age 13 he is a fantastic mouser -- mice aren't allowed to live in this house (old farm house -- lots of ways to get in).

So I'd have to say that the mousing ability is genetic -- and not completely learned. Mr. T -- wasn't raised by a mother cat.

I do agree -- the dog did think that the cat was her pet. Mr. T didn't really turn to us until his mom the dog died.

11. Here's Uggy-- a Japanese bobtail kitten/cat

I tried before to upload his photo -- but photobucket was closed to free accounts -- I'm going to try another free photo upload server.



Fingers crossed that http://shutterboard.com shows the photo.

I need to take a lot of photos of this cute guy -- especially riding in the carrier with his new buddy -- a Chihuahua who loves kitties. She has another cat friend -- Mr. T and she tries to makes friends with all cats. But Huggy (Uggy) is her very own kitty.
