Are these babies cogs or dats?
Crazy cat ... Mimi with her offspring, and inset, with the doggie survivors

SCIENTISTS have gone barking mad over this cat — which appears to have had PUPPIES.
Owner Cassia Aparecida de Souza says her moggie Mimi got pregnant after mating with a neighbour’s dog.
Cassia, 18, says Mimi had a litter of six babies — three cat-like and the rest looking like dogs.
The cat creatures died after the birth in Passo Fundo, Brazil, but the doggies survived. Geneticists are testing blood samples. Unlikely hybrids have happened before but always between closely related species.
Hercules the “liger” followed an encounter between a male lion and a tigress.
And a “wolphin”, half killer whale and half bottlenose dolphin, also exists.
