Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2004Gay Kitty?
Is there such a thing as homosexual cats? If there is, I think Smokey may be gay. I know homosexuality is as normal among some species as it is among humans. My daughter once spent several days observing gay monkies at the zoo for a report in a Primatology class. The reason I think Smokey may be gay is because of the way he sniffs butt. When he sniffs Fluffy, a female, he justs smells her, but when he sniffs Kitty, a male, he tries to lick Kitty's private parts. He could be just trying to groom Kitty, as they do groom each other, but he seems to have an different attitude when he tries to do this butt licking. Kitty won't have any part of it and always turns around and swats him on the head. >From: Fat Freddy howlin@damoon.com >Is there such a thing as homosexual cats?

It's his way of showing him that he is the dominant cat. Maybe he won't do it as much once the pecking order is established and once Julian is an adult and also once Julian is neutered if he's not already.

The man said so. Why can't you just ACCEPT it...? What's wrong with YOU, anyway....?? Intolerant? Homophobic? The male cat has nasty butt fantasies about another male cat. What else could it be..? > >> >He could be just trying to groom Kitty, as they do groom each other, > >> >but he seems to have an different attitude when he tries to do this [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Lauren Thanks for your informative reply! Julian came neutered when I got him at 5 months old. I do think Sebastian is teaching him that he is top cat; I just didn't realize this was part of the training. When Sebastian did that to Zoe (who went to the Bridge in Nov.) he would just mock mount her. Julian is in the pipsqueak phase and testing his limits with Sebastian. I'm concerned Sebastian picked up Julian's bacteria infection that way. Julian was on Flagyl but that upsets Sebastian's stomach so we're trying to treat it in other ways on him.

I would think that a huge orange cat would be vastly more attractive than my hairy leg encased in a pair of dirty jeans, but my neighbor's dog seems to prefer my leg. > >> How is that showing > >> dominance?

It somehow knew that the male/female thing was the right thing to do. Another prejudiced comment from the newsgroup's most hateful person.

When I first got Midnight (before he had his balls cut off) he used to pounce on and try to mount Cody, but I think it was just a dominance thing. Or maybe they take after their owner ;) Signaturemike3k <at> suespammers <dot> org You can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a fire.

Mental Illness knows no species boundries, Fred, so I wouldn't be the least bit suprised. Then again, it could be all in your head. Maybe YOU just need to come out...? I hear that there's even an HIV for katz, too. God doesn't miss a single deserving thing, does he..?! IBen Getiner
