TBird - 25 May 2004 21:01 GMT
Both of my cats are neutered/spayed.  They came to me that way.

But, the other day, as Sweetie lay quietly snoozing on my bed, Joe creeped
over, bit the back of her neck to hold her down, positioned himself gently
in a straddle over her as she growled indignantly, and promptly attempted to
make kittens.

Sweetie did NOT appreciate the gesture.

She told him so, as she slashed her way free.

Trying to "mount" another cat (or person) is a sign of attempted dominance
in dogs. Perhaps cats too.

It's a dominance thing. One of our boys Issa does it to his brother
Basho. He does not appreciate it either... :)

Berfert has been trying to dominate the blankets on our bed for years.
The blankets don't seem to care one way or another.

Surely not, not with Berfert. I'm sure those blankets fear him so much they
are just doing their very best to be *very* quiet and *very* still, but
quite obviously, Berfert sees through their charade and puts those uppity
blankets straight back in their place :-)

Riiiiggghhhttt, Berfert, the fearful hider from miniature hoomins, the
king of the underbed, the lord of all dark hiding spots, is putting
those uppity blankets in check.  That's as likely as PC giving up on his
plan (he thinks I don't know about it) to smuggle himself on our trip
next month.

Same here, with Trill and Internet.  Internet will actually tolerate
it for awhile, but then gets tired of it.

The weird thing is, Basho complains loudly about it, but I've seen him
present his butt to his brother... Maybe he likes it just a little bit? ;-)

lol!  I'm thinking Internet does, too.  Maybe we have some gay cats
here?

One of these days he'll figure out the effort just isn't worth it.

I saw a similar thing, but in reverse, when one of my very young female
cats went into heat for the first time. (This was years ago, when vets
would say you should wait for the first heat before spaying.) My roommate
had a neutered male. The girl kitty would roll around in front of him,
making quite a display. Finally, he would halfheartedly mount her, but
then he'd get confused and stop off, and look up at my roommate (or at me)
as though for further instructions. Sorry, guy - not my department! :)

Woman I used to work with had a female Siamese and a male dachshund.
When the cat came in heat, the dog would try to help her out.  (When the
cat became pregnant - it was a thorughbred, they'd intended to breed her
- there were a lot of jokes going around about whether she'd have
kittens or puppies.)

Whoa.  That's still illegal in several states. ;)

When Mischief first showed up at my door, she would be rolling on the
ground, yowling.  I thought that perhaps I had let in a stray female
that was in heat.  She would be growling at Imp, but then go back to
him and start rolling and yowling again.  Imp would come closer to
investigate and then get hissed and swiped at.  So Imp did what any
male could do when there's a really pissed off female in the house.

He hid under the bed.  

I took mischief to a spay/neuter clinic and they found a scar after
shaivng her.  She was really ticked off at me after that.  "They took
my BELLY FUR!!"

But I still won't forget the look Imp gave her during the whole
incident, "Um, you want me to do WHAT?"

Tiny Mimi was "spayed" twice.  The shelter didn't seem to know she was
spayed when I adopted her, and she would call and roll.  So off to the
vet she went, and came back like your little girl, shaved and PO'ed.
