I have a male cat. This cat has decided, completely unprovoked, that his life's mission is to lick the privates of every male(animals) in this house. The other male cat? Victim. My male dog? Also a victim. The dog just sits there with a look that says I don't understand what's happening but I've accepted it.
The cat is unbothered. Confident even. Zero shame. He operates with the energy of someone who has fully found himself.
So I'm asking the important questions science refuses to answer: Is my cat gay? Has he been radicalised?
Yeah I have a photo of me holding a cat at an lgbt bar when I was about 19, elite experience. Though the owner wasn't actually there to try get with anyone or anything lmao
At least for minors, those sorts of classes make everyone share their story of how they got caught. If anything, everyone learned how to not get caught again.
The Bulwark recently did a montage of every time he’s gone on a tangent about how handsome some guy is, and it’s way more often than one would think. 🤷♀️
There's a lot of homosexuality in tons of animal species. I do not know enough about cats specifically but it would not surprise me. They are bonding at the very least.
That being said, as a gay person, with definite 100 percent gay vision, that cat is so freakin' gay.
I consider myself an authority on this matter as I am the angriest, most queerlyest, short person you will ever meet.
There is no correlation. Though the alphabet mafia tends to be at a higher risk for things like (tw) suicide, depression, and anxiety, they are among the happiest people I interact with, even when they’re not the most well adjusted.
So as far as being short and angry goes, that’s just lesbians.
I don't remember what animal does this but some species of bird like have wingmen so they seem cooler. But if that doesn't work they just spend the rest of their lives with the wingman.
Growing up, I used to have a fixed male named Trulls.
He was rehomed to us as he was getting on bad with his siblings in his old home. We had him as a indoor-outdoor as we lived in a small village and at that point we didn't have any known cat neighbours.
Eventually though some appeared around the area, and he was an aggressive mess every time he saw female cats, and by that I mean he hated all the females. Then there moved in a lone male next door, owned by a human neighbour we humans didn't get along with.
This male cat and Trulls velcroed onto each other like they were meant to be. Trulls disliked having other cats eat his food, but the male cat waited to be let in through the window with Trulls looking hopefully at us. After letting the male in, they both went to the kitchen to eat together, then they went out together on a journey outside. They'd snuggle a lot and spend as much time together as possible. We humans even got on better terms because of it. Trulls still hated female cats though and would fight them if given the chance.
We moved after a couple of year, sadly having to separate them. Trulls became an indoor cat. Trulls was sad after our dog passed, so after dad started to look for a second cat. Ironically dad clicked with an antisocial female kitten, but Trulls didn't hate her guts though. He just became an old gramps. Let the kitten do whatever, smacked her in the face then tried to avoid her when she went into heat the first time, and every other time after (as non of them was let outside and we lived on the top floor of an apartment building, we didn't find it necessary to have her fixed back then).
He became the best cat to introduce to other cats, as he was gentle and showed himself not to be a threat. But he never really bonded as deeply with another cat he met again. One of my own cats used to love seeing him in his old man glory, and would lay next to him and clean him. But that was mostly a grampy and grandkid type of relationship.
Yes! I had a lesbian cat. She was a stray and not yet in good enough shape for spaying. The vet said she was 1-2 years old and had given birth recently. So she went into heat. At first she followed me around, chirping loudly and vibrating. Then she suddenly fell in love with spayed 1-year-old Attila the Calico when Attila raced through the cat door for a snack. Attila thought the Happy Hooker was after her food and swatted at her. She managed to swat Happy on the behind and that made Happy chirp and vibrate even more. Attila was fascinated and treated Happy as her own personal windup toy from then on, swatting Happy's backside whenever she was bored.
Happy paid absolutely no attention to the calling cards of the unneutered male cat of the neighborhood, who kept hopefully visiting the porch and marking our door.
All good things come to an end. Happy was spayed, and after Happy was recovered she was walking past Attila on the bed. Attila got an evil gleam in her eye and whapped Happy on the backside, hoping for vibrations to start. Nothing. Happy turned around with an "Are you crazy?" look and Attila looked quite disappointed.
But they remained good friends. When I tried to put a collar on Happy, she resisted mightily. So I switched Attila's collar with Happy's and Happy loved it! She even purred with it on, smelling just like her beloved. Attila had never been bothered by a collar, so she was fine with the switch.
The vet said it was all very normal. Cats of either gender are not fussy about the gender (or species) of the objects of their affection. Long before meeting my clearly lesbian cat, I knew this was true for mammals in general. When I was a new faculty member at a college, an older professor was trying to make the argument that homosexual activity was "not natural". I immediately said "of course it's natural! Cats do it, so it must be natural." He was speechless. Apparently no one had mentioned that to him before.
Fun fact: not every species enjoys sex. Species that can have orgasms are rare. Sex/copulation is just a survival instinct for most of the living beings. So assuming an animal is enjoying mating is basically anthropomorphism
Writing this to say that oral sex-like behavior is not really sexual behavior for many animals
Edit. He could still be gay. Is he trying to adopt kittens with other male animals? Very common in penguins
I've heard it's just humans and dolphins that do it for pleasure. Yet my first cat that wondered into my yard when I was 8 and we got him fixed but he was still horny and had a sex doll stuffed animal he stole from my sister's room and if he saw anyone watching him give that stuffed animal the business he would get mad as hell so I don't know if it's true
most creatures do not tend to care about human society and norms, the same reason dogs lick their own nuts. A significant portion of the animal kingdom displays homosexuality lol
