Default Zoey doesn't usually like dogs but seems to have made an exception

Pa. Cat Nurses Rejected Pug Puppy

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., Apr. 21, 2006
(AP) A pug puppy rejected by his mother has found a new, more welcoming
family _ a cat and her three kittens.

Kelly Kent, of Connellsville, said her 2-year-old cat, Zoey, has been
nursing a black pug puppy since he was rejected by his mother in late
March. Zoey doesn't usually like dogs but seems to have made an
exception, Kent said.

The puppy, who belongs to Kent's neighbor, is about the same size as
Zoey's kittens and regularly lines up for milk with his adopted feline
siblings.

It is not unusual for mothers to adopt in nature, even if the baby is
of another species, said William Shepherd, a Uniontown veterinarian.
Shepherd said a puppy can drink a cat's milk, but warned that Zoey
might not be able to produce enough as the young pug gets older and
bigger.

The pug puppy, the runt of his litter, doesn't yet have a name.
