I have seen numerous occasions of bonding between cats and dogs, including a dog nursing a cat. Actually, in that case the dog seemed to be a bit puzzled when the cat started doing that, but then sat back and accepted it. Since the dog had not given birth I don't think the cat was getting any nourishment.

Hi gang,Just wanted to let all of the animal lovers in the group know that I approved a bestseller called Unlikely Friendships: 47 Remarkable Stories from the Animal Kingdom. It's at http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/392149/.The long synopsis isIt is exactly like Isaiah 11:6: The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid ... Written by NationalGeographic magazine writer Jennifer Holland, Unlikely Friendships documents one heartwarming tale after another of animals who, with nothing else in common, bond in the most unexpected ways. A cat and abird. A mare and a fawn. An elephant and a sheep. A snake and a hamster. The well-documented stories of Koko the gorilla and All Ball thekitten; and the hippo Owen and the tortoise Mzee. And almost inexplicable stories of predators befriending prey -- an Indian leopard slips into a village every night to sleep with a calf. A lionness mothers a baby oryx. Ms. Holland narrates the details and arc of each story, and also offers insights into how the young leopard, probably motherless, sought maternal comfort with the calf, and how a baby oryx inspired the same mothering instinct in the lionness. Or, in the storyof Kizzy, a nervous retired Greyhound, and Murphy, a red tabby, how cats and dogs actually understand each other's body language. With Murphy'sfriendship and support, Kizzy recovered from life as a racing dog and became a confident, loyal family pet. These are the most amazing friendships between species, collected from around the world and documented in a selection of full-color candid photographs. Carrie
