Title: Humping a Teddy !!
Post by: Michelle (furbabystar) on March 16, 2007, 11:44:56 AM
My eldest, Bear, has taken to humping a Teddy bear - and i mean going at it 10 for the dozen lol
He is neutered (done at 6mths) and is 12yrs old !

I didnt think they "got the urge" when they have been done

Anyone else come across this ???

Yes Peewee does this, and when he does he smells like an unneutered tom.

I think a vet check or at least a discussion with the vet is required to ensure there are no problems that can be sorted

The family Border Collie has a silly 5 minutes and starts humping things sometimes... I wonder if its just some lingering bit of instinct that fires off once in a while cos not only was Daisy neutered 4 years ago but she's a girl too!  :doh:

We have had 2 boys who have done this.  Our first ever boy Monty, who is no longer with us, used to like humping duvets, and now our Tommy does this.  Tommy has a lambswool rug that he is very fond of  ;D.

None of our others have shown the slightest inclination!

We had a cat years ago that used to do this........all my eldest lads teddies had bald patches where he'd hold on for grim death whilst he was at it  :rofl:  He didn't care who was there, if I hid the teddies he'd find them and I regularly found him at it on my son's bed  :sick:  I took him to the vets and they gave him a course of Ovarid which is a female hormone.........it didn't work so we just had to put up with it........lol

you might want to use the expression "mounting" rather than humping when speaking to the vet though..sounds abit nicer.

Lynn this sounds like he's putting the teddy into a frame. That's where I would most use the term 'mounting'.  :rofl:

Post by: CurlyCatz on March 17, 2007, 09:30:36 AM
perhaps but the correct term when an animal mates etc is mounting.

To be honest no matter how well I knew a person I would not say that, I must be too refined ;D

I'm far from refined and often wish i were naturally abit more sophisticated..however i'd never say that either LOL. (not outside my house anyway)

There is a seabird called a shag though isn't there? I think the shag is a bit like a cormarant but different.  You see shags on the rocks in St Ives sometimes. Well perhaps you don't but we do.

As long as it gets the message across, who cares? I'd be inclined to say 'bonking'! But I'm a fairly earthy type.

If that is the type of thing you are comfortable to say then you do what you want, it is just that I presume most of us would not use that wording.

I'm all for bonking hippy LOL but i'd still not say that to my vet.

Bonking does have a carry on type humour i think so i like that  ;D
Title: Re: Humping a Teddy !!
Post by: Dawn (DiddyDawn) on March 18, 2007, 00:58:36 AM
I would say bonking to my vet, he has a sense of humour and probably would expect me to say something like that........he has me sending him all my jokes and some say much worse  :rofl:

'bonking'!

Yes, I think for us who are perhaps 'too posh to push'  (not) I think that is much better.

Don't think I would have a problem discussing cats bonking, better word than the S word.
