Cat question, please read

[shadu]

I am fostering cats.
One male cat, not neutered, insists on mounting and
butt fucking another un-neutered male cat. He also bites the ruff
of the 'submissive' cat.
The 'submissive' cat hates it.
WTF is going on?

1. Normal cat behavior?

Maybe your cat need to be NEUTERED?

[shadu]

4. The cats are being neutered tomorrow.

Still, what is with this behavior?

[Liberal Veteran]

9. Both cats and dogs do that....

Particularly when they are not neutered, but sometimes even after.

It's just how animals are.

19. Our female dog humps our male dog - both are fixed...

and obviously confused.

2. I have a neutered cat who does that

It's very odd, but that's cats for you. Please neuter this cat!!:hi:

[parasim]

3. Which does he hate?

the butt-fucking or the biting of the ruff?

[shadu]

8. Well, he is just like you,

so you figure it out.
God, I hope Lynx Rufus sees this - I need a real answer.

20. Not sure you mean by that remark...

but I do apologize for trying to add a bit of humor to this thread. I just thought it was funny the way you asked your question, so I threw in a mindless joke. Sorry if I offended you or made light of your situation.

18. He hates not being called the next day

Sorry, couldn't stop myself.

5. uhh ........nature?

It's just the way male cats are if they are not neutered.

6. Nothing chopping' those chunks won't fix!

If he is over 6 week he is old enough to fix.

[Dookus]

7. neuter him

and take away his gay porn.

[Rick Myers]

10. That's cats!!!

My sisters 'fixed' male is constantly bugging the 'fixed' female of the house. Odd...

[KamaAina]

11. Guess Santorum was right after all (sarcasm)

First gay marriage, then cat on cat... </sarcasm>

We had two spayed females years ago who would sometimes act as "longtime companions".

12. Dominance issues

Alpha male exerting his "athoratay" over others.

Both cats and dogs do this. Neutering will help, but not totally take the dominance urge away.

Oh, yes...no more kitty porn.

[Philostopher]

15. I'll second that one -- it's dominance behavior.

Neutering may reduce the incidence of it -- and good on you, for fostering cats! I have a house full, I can't really do it, but I respect people who do.

I have one male and three females, and the male used to do that to the younger females in the household, until they got big enough to swat the daylights out of him.

Interestingly, he's been neutered since months before we brought him home. He was an adult before he was neutered, though -- the behavior already was fixed.

Sexual behaviors doesn't explain the fact that the dog, who also was neutered as an adult but before we brought him into the menagerie, also attempts to mount the cats on occasion. Again, I'm pretty sure that's an authority/dominance gesture.

Now, the neutered male cat humps a blanket. He doesn't get swatted, the girls don't get molested, and everybody's happy. Except blankie.

13. Biting the ruff is a sexual signal

You've got a gay cat on your hands.

[Canuckistanian]

14. We don't usually talk about cats here

It's very unusual in the Lounge. Try GD or I/P, you may have more luck.

16. Call me old-fashioned, but ...

... I just don't think gay cats should do that unless they're married.

[Kat45]

17. They can come to Mass. to get married.

:D
