A STRANGE NURSE. 
By A. J. BIGNEY. 
On June 1, 1908, there was born on the farm of Will H. Sedam, near 
Moores Hill, Indiana, a litter of kittens, only one of which lived. The 
mother of these kittens died August 1. The surviving kitten began to 
try to nurse the sire. Soon milk began to flow a little and as the nursing 
continued the milk increased in its flow. The sire soon had two well 
developed nipples doing service. The kitten lagged a little in its growth 
for a while, but soon was in good condition and continued to do well. 
This is the first instance of the kind that has come under my observation.
