Snagglepuss and Bubbles to hopefully make your day brighter

I've read in many places that it's not totally uncommon for mother cats to care for other baby animals

1. That is dear.

I know mama kittehs and doggos often take in other species and I've always wondered if their milk is enough alike to be healthy to the baby critters.

2. Cats' milk has more protein than dogs.

Kittens with a dog foster mom will be OK but they might need some supplements. Cats can also feed puppies in a pinch, but puppies are usually bigger than kittens so the cat might not have enough milk. Cross-species nursing is nevertheless a better thing than bottle feeding because the babies get the feeling of being mothered and protected.

3. Yep. I hear that.

I was just saying on another post, how my kitteh was bottle-fed by humans as a newborn because her mother rejected her and she's not "quite right".
