Cats Nursing Mice
Now I have heard everything. Perhaps this cat is confused.

I can believe it. My female Siamese adopted my son's guinea pigs! She didn't
go as far as nursing them - they were weaned and she had no kittens. However she would take me to their pen and meow until I got them out and put them on my knee, then she would sit with them (usually on top of them). She seemed to get a lot of pleasure and it was quite deliberate. She also likes to run around with them - but it is definitely playing and not hunting. We haven't had a lid on the indoor pen for well over 12 months and have no worries. At the moment they are in a pen in the garden and the cat often goes and sits on the pen.

If a cat was never taught a mouse is prey, it may very well not recognize it as such. It's a bit more unusual for a cat to nurse a mouse. I have a friend whose dog would let the family's adult cat nurse along with her litter of puppies, so interspecies nursing isn't unknown. Bill |

If a mouse gets in this household it's all over....for the mouse. Isis would
definately kill it but I am unsure about Jade. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "moi" wrote in message ...

I remember seeing a story where a crow befriended a kitten. It was the
craziest thing I ever saw but apparently the crow watched out for the kitten and apparently even brought the young one food. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Bill" wrote in message ...
