A 16-month-old baby girl in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province, is probably the country's youngest alcoholic, according to Sina.com.

She started drinking when she was six months old; now she needs about 100-150 millilitres of alcohol a day. Soon after she was born, her father - an alcoholic - dipped a chopstick in alcohol and fed her; and the baby soon became addicted.

Surprisingly, the girl shows no signs of being drunk after imbibing spirits but doctors warned that she be weaned away as soon as possible¡£

But education professionals cautioned that such hasty love is not likely to last; and could end up hurting the people involved.

A homesick cat from Beijing finally returned to its owner after trekking across more than 100 kilometres for 40 days after it was given away, Beijing Times reports.

The cat stunned its owner on Tuesday when it turned up at the door

"It must have suffered a lot since its weight has fallen from 2.5 kilograms to only 500 grams," said Zhu, adding she would never let go of it.
