Default Gay 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.

No, your cat is not gay, lol. What he is doing is showing dominance. It

is
not sexual.

So that is why Sebastian does that to kitten Julian?! How is that showing
dominance? I'm not a cat so I find it kind of disgusting.

Thanks!

Sebastian is showing Julian that he is the top cat, so to speak. 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.

If you were a dog or cat, you'd understand. Even female dogs assert
dominance in this why. It doesn't matter how or why -- they understand
that. It just matters that you understand what they're doing.


I once witnessed my climbing partner's female black lab mount and hump their
huge, orange, male tabby cat.

Most people react to animals as those they were little people with
little people values. There's nothing disgusting about a natural
behaviour.

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.
