  People have flocked to a small village on the outskirts of Cambodia's capital after a man claimed that his ten-year-old pet dog has given birth to a kitten.

  
  

  Owner Te Huot told Deutsche Presse-Agentur that his dog, called Knou, gave birth to a grey tabby kitten after he was visited by a forest monk who claimed that the dog had mated with a tiger.

  
  

  The phenomenon has brought crowds thronging to Te Huot's home to burn incense and give donations towards the dog and its tiny kitten, which Te Huot says is a sign from the gods.

  
  

  "This animal cries like a cat, and its face is like a cat, but its feet are bigger than a cat's and look more like a dog's feet," local media quoted Te Huot as saying.

  
  

  "It is a kitten," one visitor  told DPA. "I only went to see what it looked like, but when the owner told me I had to pray to the dog, I left. I don't believe him that this kitten came from his dog."

  
  

  Animal husbandry experts also cast doubts.
