Life is purr-fect as Alphie the abandoned piglet decides he's the cat's
whiskers
By Daily Mail Reporter

As the sole survivor of the litter, things looked bleak for Alphie the
piglet after his mother abandoned him.

Realising that intervention would be the only chance he had of survival,
owner Claire De Beer decided to bottle feed Alphie herself.

But as her own demanding schedule started to take it's toll, Claire began
to wonder if her cat Jinx, who had recently become a mum herself at their
home in Cape Town, South Africa, might shoulder some of the
responsibility.

And within hours of bringing them together Jinx had bonded with her new
'kitten' and Alphie found himself snuggling up with his brand new family.
