- CharlesDarwin, on 10/12/2007, -15/+158April 1st already!?
- patrickbwells, on 10/12/2007, -6/+118This has got to be a hoax.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+95This is not at all feasible. Cats have 38 chromosomes, dogs have 78. Reported as inaccurate.
- c5mjohn, on 10/12/2007, -18/+107I was laughing at some of these comments pretty loud. My girlfriend came over and wanted to see what was so funny. I let her read some of the comments. She is not very smart and didn't really get them at first. But then she started laughing. And then I started laughing. And then I punched her.

- mlwarrior, on 10/12/2007, -10/+75Sorry, but only on digg could something this wrong be marked as news.
Here is what happened. Cat has three kittens, which all die. Cat goes out during the night and finds baby puppies, and because of maternal instincts, she brings them back to nurse. Stupid people go ape-*****, article is submitted to digg, more stupid people go ape-*****. Meanwhile the geneticist who hadn't finished his work, finally proves that this is not possible. - pvtjohndoe, on 10/12/2007, -10/+73Hmm.. I don't think I'd mind having a couple of Meowoofs running around the house.
- MrPerfect, on 10/12/2007, -4/+59no it's totally true I ***** out a zebra this one time..
- PathDaemon, on 10/12/2007, -11/+61@aa3000:
Two words: "Brazilian…18." - retral, on 10/12/2007, -8/+56"last friday" - That means the 'puppies' can't be more than a week old - In other words they wouldn't have grown much, and those are some big puppies to be coming out of that cat.
Probably BS. - kevincupp, on 10/12/2007, -6/+52I know a thing or two about Biology, and I'm sure the cat could not give birth to puppies without it having some sort of major genetic defect (if it would even work at all). During conception, the chromosomes from each parent are put together, and I'm pretty sure you can't mix DNA with instructions on how to make a cat and DNA with instructions on how to make a dog. Interesting, but it sounds like someone just wants attention.
- MrBabyMan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+41At this point I'd like to quote the esteemed parapsychologist, Dr. Peter Venkman in saying, "Mass Hysteria!!"
- Asvetic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+39If I was having sex with an Ape I don't think I'd be talking about it, let alone showing off our mutant babies to anyone...
- Keropipi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+38isn't that impossible?
- PathDaemon, on 10/12/2007, -6/+40Look, all I know is that that cat looks like it's about to kill someone if its babies are crushed by the girl's hands. She doesn't know how to hold a cat and it's genetically improbable offspring!
- zeroFiftySix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32Horses have 32 chromosomes while donkeys have 31 chromosomes. During meiosis, the diploid cells (normal cells - which in the horses' case would have 32x2=64 chromosomes) split into two haploid cells with only 32 chromosomes and same with the donkey. Mules are produced because the chromosomes (the 31 chromosomes on the horse and donkey haploid cells) are compatible enough, but the extra missing chromosome from the donkey is what is thought to make mules sterile because they're not complete. Well, they're not a complete horse (missing one chromosome) and not a complete donkey (has an extra chromosome) so they're inbetween in infertile.
A cat has 38 chromosomes and a dog has 78. This is clearly not the same case as the mule where there was only one chromosomal difference. Something is afoot and thus this is why I believe it is wholly impossible.
(zebras and donkeys are able to mate because some species of zebra have 31 chromosomes also - although it varies.)
Also, keep in mind that a zebra and donkey can be considered to be somewhat genetically related and a human and an ape are genetically related. Also, horses and donkeys are pretty genetically related also. But, think about it, a dog and a cat? One is canine and the other is feline. Tigers and lions are felines so they're related also. I know, let's try to mate an alligator with a buffalo. They have four legs, right?
pfft
PS. SoupsMan's comment - it sucks. Like, a lot. Better if you go ask some one who didn't take high school biology twenty years ago. Genes are ON chromosomes. Chromosomes are MADE OF genes/DNA. Like letters in a word in a book, nucleotides in a dna strand in a gene in a chromosome. Man, its the same thing. right on. - TheCount, on 10/12/2007, -7/+37"Nice cleavage"
You're not seeing cleavage, you're seeing boobs resting atop a gut. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30what, Reuters is "internet drivel" and a vision of Jesus on a dog's ass isn't?
- PatrickFisher, on 10/12/2007, -7/+35Since when did digg become "Weekly World News"?
- nemoder, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!
- ProximaC, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29I'll wait for the DNA tests...
- NiX0n, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27Ohh...
Whatabout a Condor? Wouldn't that be cool?
Then you'd have flying puppies. - modian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25There are definitely some puppies in that photo.
- Harbinger67, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26If you get them good and drunk they will.
- TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25sign them up for Maury
- super_spyder, on 10/12/2007, -7/+29All i want is a simple cowdog MOOF!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23mlwarrior is dead on the money, I know this because this exact thing happened to one of our cats years & years ago. She had kittens, only a few because she got pregnant very young. They all died & she went out that night, the neighbour's spaniel had had puppies around the same time, she took three of the puppies back to nurse in her box out of strong maternal instinct.
*****.... or not! - Mabu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22In a related story, a local Brazillian man shows off monkeys that flew out of his ass.
- garyh84, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25I don't know... "Our" we?
- irieKEN, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21This is the kind of crap that happens when animals don't drink responsibly...
- raindogmx, on 10/12/2007, -12/+30This is absolute BS and it must be dugg down before it reaches our naive grandmothers, god only knows what will happen then.
Inaccurate. - eMuleDude, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20That woman had nice puppies alright. ;)
- dbug, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19"When was the last time you heard a human had sex with an ape and the ape had human babies? Oh yeah, never."
Hmm. Now you made me wonder what human-ape offsprings would look like. Is that even possible? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19@kevincupp:
See my comment above. Cats have 38 chromosomes, dogs have 78. You're totally right. This person is a moron. - napier, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Cats? Dogs? Where are they? All I could see was the set of twins in the background....
- eecue, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18I swear to God, I'll pistol whip the next guy that says 'shenanigans!'
- uptown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15CONDOGS
- zdiddy85, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15are they going to chase themselves?
- merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16The chromosome count is the #1 issue.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Highly unlikely, but who really knows (some organisms can produce offspring despite the different number of chromosomes)... However without proof it should be treated as a hoax.
BTW this story reminded me of a joke I found once on the internet :-)
An 80 year old man was having his annual checkup, and the doctor asked him how he was feeling.
"I've never been better!" he boasted."I've got an eighteen year old bride who's pregnant, and having my child! What do you think about that?"
The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, "Let me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was an a vid hunter. He never missed a season. But one day went out in a bit of a hurry, and he accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his gun. So he was in the woods, and suddenly a grizzly bear appeared in front of him! He raised up his umbrella, pointed it at the bear, and squeezed the handle. And do you know what happened?" - the doctor queried.
Dumbfounded, the old man replied "No."
The doctor continued, "The bear dropped dead in front of him!"
"That's impossible!" exclaimed the old man."Someone else must have shot that bear."
"That's kind of what I'm getting at..." replied the doctor. - nottidredd, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17yea haven't you ever heard that song by loverboy?
- missflibbles, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Yeah, I call shennanigans. I might believe that a cat and dog mated (highly unlikely and nearly physically impossible), but I sure as hell am not going to believe that there were any offspring as a result.
Sorry, nope.
Ask anyone with more than a high school knowledge of biology and they'll tell you it just isn't possible.
Also, those puppies are larger than newborn kittens. If that cat could even physically carry six of those (which I highly doubt, there's got to be some limit to how far that uterus will stretch), she'd be -enormous-. - slack3r17, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12"You are NOT the father"
- poet, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Haven't you ever heard of Peter Parker? Who cares that the spider was radioactive, it bit him and changed his DNA.
- pbaehr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12FLUPPIES!
- fyngyrz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Cog? Dat? Caline? Fenine? Kuppy? Pitten?
I'm so confused... - oskite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12So can it be called bestiality when there's no human involved?
- 703_KN33, on 10/12/2007, -9/+19Nice cleavage!
- Mrkamikaze, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11BREAKING NEWS..Dog gives birth to Brazilians.
