Korea: Dogs born cats

Jeong Pyong-bong, 63, said his indoor dog had just given birth to a cute little cat earlier this week. He was happy to introduce this strange phenomenon to journalists and residents in the area to see and take pictures.

'After the little boys were born, I noticed that one was like a cat and it was meow. I checked and found that it was a kitten. After learning the news, everyone in town called my house to witness this strange phenomenon firsthand , 'Jeong said.

Jeong asserted that he knew the cause of this strange phenomenon, he explained: 'My dog ​​once wandered out of the house all night and I thought he had mated with some male cats.'

However, veterinarians claim dogs cannot breed cats, in terms of genetics. Because the number and characteristics of chromosomes in these two species are completely different.

Professor Son Chang-ho, a veterinary science specialist at Chonnnam National University (Korea), said: 'Dogs cannot produce cats. Because the number and characteristics of chromosomes in dogs and cats are completely different. Maybe the puppy at home Jeong has a cat-like appearance ".
