A friend of mine has this small dog who I think is confused that it's a member of the feline species that it keeps on hounding the cat as if it is the cat's protector or guardian.
One day he heard the cat screaming and discovered the dog is having sex with his cat! My friend knew the dog is successful since it took some time for the dog to disconnect from the cat. Though the dog suffered scratches on its neck and the sides which obviously came from the cat when she was being raped.
So, is it possible for a dog to impregnate the cat?

My friend also told me that the cat is not feeling well. Could it be the result of the dog raping her? Could there be a negative effect on the cat?

Hey thanks for the info Fordicus. My friend told me he'll bring his cat to the vets tomorrow morning since it's already night time here and the vets are not on call. He's very concerned about the cat since he noticed she's a bit weaker now. He also mentioned seeing a patch of blood from the cat's genital.

Before anything else I would like to thank everybody who posted on this thread. However, it is my sad duty to inform everybody that the cat 'Lily' died yesterday. The vet told my friend the cat bled internally and caused her death. If my friend has noticed it sooner and brought the cat to the vet, maybe 'Lily' would still be alive today.
Anyway, that's life. For those with cats and small dogs, maybe you should watch out to avoid the same situation.
Thank you all for posting.

So very sorry to hear about the poor cat. :-(
Im going to have to keep an eye on my dog and cat. My Pomeranian dog, Bailey (male) is always jumping on my male cats back and pinning him, but Jasper (cat-male) doesnt seem to mind too much. He does it in a 'playfight' way, but I think our Bailey is gay. I dont want any accidents like this though. Tell your friend I am sorry

No, it's not possible. Dogs and cats are two different species. They cannot produce offspring because both the dog and the cat have different amounts of chromosomes in their bodies. Domesticated dogs have a total of 78 chromosomes in their body. Half is from the mother and half is from the father. Cats have a total of 38 chromosomes in their bodies. Again, half from the mother and half from the father. So dogs have 78 chromosomes, while cats have 38. To be able to produce offspring, both animals need to have the same amount of chromosomes.

I don't think so because of biology. Even if the cat became pregnant, it would be very unlikely for the baby to survive.
In Biology class (college), the instructor told us that a rat and a cat could not have an offspring together. It is not possible because of DNA.

no, no and no
Only animals of the same species can have a baby. The order of classifications are kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. We are labeled by our genus and species:
Homo sapien
A cats is Felis silvestris catus
The dogs is Canis lupus familiaris
This scientifically proves that it is impossible for the dog to impregnate the cat. So don't worry!

I had a female rabbit (who was about 5 months) hump my female cat (3 years). The cat got creeped out, but they didn't get hurt and continued their friendship.
It is just hormones, and no, the cat cannot get pregnant. It is the rules of biology.
I am so sorry about Lily, it is very sad news.

No,they are totally different species.Just like a human couldn't get a sheep pregnant,neither can a dog get a cat pregnant,but you should have both animals fixed,so they can't reproduce and add to the already overwhelming number of unwanted pets.

If the cat is feeling unwell it could mean that she now has a uterine infection. If this develops into closed pyometra her life could be at risk. She obviously needs spaying anyway, so I would get this done as soon as possible.

No. Dogs and cats have different numbers of chromosomes, so for the same reason that a dog cannot impregnate a human, a dog cannot impregnate a cat.
