Cats and Dog

News isn't always bad on the animal front and sometimes it's very good. Mama cat Satin has adopted puppy Charlie into her litter of four kittens. The Meriden Connecticut Humane Society had picked up a dog that subsequently gave birth to two puppies. One of them was still-born and she rejected the other, as sometimes happens. Staffers were bottle feeding Charlie but were unable to maintain a high level and quantity of nutrition. Someone researched the possibility of using a cat as a wet nurse and brought Satin into the picture. It turned out to be very successful for all concerned. Charlie is part Rottweiler and will soon be towering over his littermates but that shouldn't make too much of a difference while they are still young.
