Cats are gay
Homosexuality in Cats
I don't know about cats, but in many animals it's a completely normal behaviour, for example I DO know a lot about birds, and a wings will often bond with a wings of the matching sex, even in the wild, usually most common in species where a bird forms a lifelong monogamous bond with a boyfriend you will discover birds of the same sex bonding as mates! Very common in parrots and penguins in the wild and in captivity.
I would think that because cats don't form lengthy partnerships with their mates, but just join up for a 'quickie' (sorry) in order to make offspring, that what you are seeing is more likely to be power behaviour. With species of animals that form longer bonds, you are more likely to watch same-sex pairing, because there is an element of traits and long-term ability to co-habit emotionally attached in what is found attractive in a mate, rather than just the need to reproduce.
And a male cat wanting fulfillment may well opt a spayed female, a male, a blanket, or a cushion if his desire to procreate cannot be fulfilled with an intact female. Cat matings are short and without emotion or thought of the future!

We as humans take it for granted that we have a level of enjoyment in the reproductive process that other animals do not.
Broadly, that’s probably right. It doesn’t look like most animals don’t enjoy sex. From what I can tell, animals have intercourse with dead eyed certainty. It is a purposeful act for them, and petite else. Sex equals babies. That’s it.
Once, I was sitting upstairs in a café looking down on a church, and I saw two pigeons of top of one another on a church steeple. If there was any thrill at all, it was from the balancing act. The female pigeon was pinned on top of the spire, with the male pigeon fatly grinding on top of her.
He finished in seconds and they parted ways. No pleasantries were exchanged, and I don’t reckon he texted her afterwards.
However, I contend that there can be exceptions to this rule.
I include two cats, and they are satisfied (and I signify PROUD) members of the LGBTIQ+ group. I know this because, the morning after I brought them home, I came downstairs to find them gently rimming one another with real expertise and affection in what can foremost be described as a Tight 69 formation.

Purr-ide Post: Are Gay Cats a Thing?
While I talk about this topic from a scientific standpoint, this post gets a brief NSFW at times given that we’re talking about reproductive behaviors in animals. You have been warned.
June is Pride month and many of us humans are celebrating our own identities or those of people we tend about. Even if you’re not part of the LGBTQ+ society yourself, it’s an important second as LGBTQ+ individuals still deal with significant discrimination and are at an exceptionally higher risk of being victims of violent crime.
Now, my blog and business are cat focused so you may be wondering how Pride (or Purr-ide, to use the tabby centric term) ties into cats. That leads us to the topic of today’s post: queer cats.
To write this blog share, I spent way more hour reading articles on homosexuality in cats than I ever reflection I would. My search history now includes terms such as “homosexual behavior in cats” and “can cats be lesbians.” It’s been a strange day, permit me tell you. But before I share my findings, let’s take a step back and make sure we are all on the same page as to what we’re talkin
Have you ever noticed that your cat is way too affectionate towards her female friends than you think she should be? Or maybe you’ve seen your dog trying to mount another pup and suspect there might be another explanation to this behavior than just a playful mood.
As the investigate on human gender and sexuality has seen tremendous progress over the last several decades, many people have opened their minds to the idea that their pets can be more queer than we’re used to thinking. However, the answer to the question “Can a mutt be gay?” might be quite complicated.
What does explore say about homosexuality in animals?
The topic of homosexuality was a taboo even not so long ago. Only around 20 years back, in 1999, Bruce Bagemihl published his manual Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity, which unveiled that over 300 species of vertebrates occupy in homosexual behavior, while some scientists were still opposing the idea that homosexuality among animals is a common thing.
Today it is no longer a revelation that many animals engage in different kinds of same-sex interactions: in some species only males, in others only females, and in many both do. As Joan
