KEY POINTS:
Brazilian cat Mimi has given birth three months after a neighbour's dog allegedly mated with her in the southern city of Passo Fundo.
A geneticist plans to take blood samples to verify the claim by Mimi's owners that the puppies are part of Mimi's litter.
Three of her babies born with cat features died soon after birth, leaving the surviving three dog-like "kittens".
