​Our colleagues at our St. Louis sister paper, the Riverfront Times, need your help tracking down a Missouri woman who breastfeeds her cat.

See the picture.

Take it for what it's worth, but this comes from the Brit tab Closer's profile of Janine Hammond, who resides somewhere in the Show-Me State (and takes the state slogan too much to tit heart), and nurses her cat, Flash.

Another site excerpted the Closer story, and reports that the 25-year-old says:

"People will think I'm weird, but it's an amazing experience. Flash loves it, and feeds twice a day. Nobody should knock it until they've tried it.

"It's fantastic. His teeth and rough tongue skin tickle, but he's never once broken my skin."

You'll be happy to know that Ms. Hammond has reproduced. Her son, Kenny, isn't as fond as his mother's sweater puppets as Flash the cat.

"I hope Kenny and Flash will have a close bond. When Kenny is older I'll tell him and hope that he'll think it's cool."

Just great. Bet Kenny grows up without issues. 

If you know Hammond, feel free to drop the RFT a note (or us). A Brit researcher would like to talk to Hammond for a TV documentary. Oh, maybe don't mention this to Missouri child services.
