Cassia Aparecida de Souza, a student in the Brazilian city of Passo Fundo, claims that her cat, Mimi, has given birth to three offspring with canine traits,
reports say.
Mrs de Souza says that Mimi mated with a neighbour's dog three months ago and, when the cat gave birth, three of the offspring showed canine characteristics and three were normal kittens. The three with cat features died shortly after birth.
A geneticist from the Passo Fundo University will take blood samples to verify that the 'puppies' were part of the litter.
(Thanks, Neo.)
UPDATE: The
blood tests show that the cat did
not give birth to the 'puppies'.

Hmm, in this version the girl herself gave birth to puppies!

See the link above, and is anyone editing this stuff??
I presume you don't mean that hoaxes shouldn't be listed in the Museum of Hoaxes, only that they should be labeled as hoaxes.
WELL NEO there's your answer read the artical above and check out the update
It doesn't take three months for a cat to give birth. It takes more than that. I don't know which story to believe, and I'm not sure it's this one.
