Photo of the Day: Cat Suckling From a Dog

In the tiny town of Uaxactun, Guatemala (near the Mayan ruins of the same name) we saw an adult cat suckling from a dog. Neither seemed to care at all that they were contributing to extreme inter-species shenanigans. But we cared and as we stood staring an old lady walked past and noticed the spectacle. She clasped her chest and hissed “Dios mio!” (My God) before rushing away as if she’d just seen the devil himself. Perhaps she had…

This is just wrong.

    Wow, that’s weird. I’ve heard of it before with kittens but a full-grown cat??

    Holy cow! I’ve never even heard of that before. Truly an amazing pic. I second the above comment – hope you get a video of it!

    Wow… that is quite… horrifying. My first inclination is to say that for a grown cat to go so against his natural animal instincts, he must have been starving to death, like so many street animals. But he doesn’t look skinny or sick. I’m perplexed!

    That’s pretty amazing considering the cat is a full grown adult, the animal kingdom is a constant source of fascination, anything we can do, they can do better.

    Wow, that’s crazy. Not only is it a cat suckling, but it’s a full grown cat! I’m glad you had your camera because I’m not sure if other people would have believed you without photo documentation.

    Very interesting – and lovely. If it suits them, it can’t be bad. It just ‘is’.

    It’s just something they are doing – how can anyone find it offensive? Beats me.

    Go around any zoo and watch monkeys – now they do some pretty odd things….
