Crosspost from Dog General - Rottweiler pup whose mum's a moggy (5 pics)

He has her colouring, but that is where the family resemblance ends.

For the little newborn snuggling up to Sky the tabby cat is, in fact, a rottweiler. He and another pup were abandoned at birth on Monday. Fearing they wouldn't survive, their owner, David Page, placed them with his cat Sky, who had just had four kittens. He didn't expect much - perhaps just that she would keep them warm for a little while. But to his surprise, she welcomed them with open paws.
Mr Page, 42, an agriculture and heavy plant contractor, said: "It is just amazing to think that Sky has taken so well to the puppies. She has a lovely, gentle nature and treats them just like her kittens. She loves to lick them clean and lets them suckle her."










The puppies are the only survivors of a litter of six born to Mr Page's two-year-old bitch Roxy at his works' yard in Haddiscoe near Beccles, Suffolk.

He has tried to re-introduce Roxy to her puppies, but she does not want to know them - and fortunately, they seem quite content.

"They are just one big happy family. I hope they will grow up the best of friends," he said.

That is to cute!! Can't help but wonder what happens when they are 4 tp 5 weeks old and start getting so much bigger than the kittens!

Aw, that's such a beautiful story! LOL, can't imagine rotties calling a cat 'mum' though when they're all grown up.

Stories like this make me feel good inside. I wish people would act more like this. The world would be a much nicer place.
