Dog Husky 'adopts' kittens

A California woman said bringing a pair of kittens into her house had an unexpected side effect -- turning her Siberian husky into a foster mom.

A story about a dog mothering kittens, and no photos? Inconceivable!

Link to a story with a photo. 'Cause we don't want no 'splody kittens or foster mom.

That's a lovely story and very cute picture!

I'm very surprised that the lady who rescued the cats didn't realize that the adult Siamese cat was a male. Siamese have short fur. I have also seen that a full male will tend to *ahem* "wash his jewels" very openly and with a rather proud splayed leg posture.

What doesn't surprise me is that a male will be an effective caregiver to kittens. My cat Max (super genius) still continues to mother my other cat, Buttons who was adopted as a 3 month old. He is a very fastidious ear cleaner!
