Hua Chengpeng, of Huayang village, Jiangyan city, told People’s Daily that the unlikely animal was the third ‘puppy’ in his pet’s litter.<\/font><\/p>\n

“The first two puppies the dog produced were both normal, but when the third baby came, the whole family was very surprised to see a cat-like creature. It is a cat, not a dog at all,” he said.<\/font><\/p>\n

Local residents have been flocking to his house to see the ‘kitten’ which local vets say is really a puppy which looks like a cat because of a gene mutation. It apparently yaps like a puppy.<\/font><\/p>\n

Hua says his son brought the dog home from Liaoning city, where he had been working, a year ago.<\/font><\/p>\n

Devil Cat with 26 Toes <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\"toescat\"The owner of a cat with 26 toes is trying to find out if her pet is a record breaker.<\/font><\/p>\n

Most cats have just 18 toes, five on each front paw and four on each hind paw, Des has a total of 26, reports the Daily Telegraph.<\/font><\/p>\n

Alison Thomas, of Felindre, near Swansea, said her pet has seven toes on each front paw and six on each back paw.<\/font><\/p>\n

“We’ve had him for about 10 years, he just turned up on the doorstep and my husband made the fatal error of giving him a bowl of milk so he stayed,” she said.<\/font><\/p>\n

“He was only about six months old at the time and was quite small, so his paws looked enormous.<\/font><\/p>\n

“I originally wondered if he needed them chopped off, but the vet said he was fine.”<\/font><\/p>\n
