can't see why not. lots of animals have gay behaviour, depends on the animal, same as the person...

A friend of mine has four cats and two of the males, though neutered, mount eachother occassionally. She's convinced they're gay.  :rofl:

I think this is a joke thread....but as far as I know there have been instances of gay animals in most species.

I'm pretty sure Barrys bent paw isn't a sign though! ;) My oldest tom does that and he lurrves the ladies. ;) (Don't worry, he's neutered!)

I agree, although generally in species where animals pair up.  I'm not convinced that this is the case in cats though.  Although they do form social relationships, sex is pretty functional and driven by hormones so I'd say cats aren't gay.  They do mount each other in dominance behaviour though, which I think gives rise to many people thinking they are gay.

I agree with susanne and would say that most of the animal species dont copulate for enjoyment but as susanne said are homonal driven (a species of monkey are an exception but i cant remember which)  for the rest it is mostly in order to reproduce and also as said a dominance / social structure reasons.

I wouldnt say you can class animals as gay thinking of it in the same way as humans, we can be attracted physically and emotionally to the same sex and want to pair bond with one possibly, animals dont tend to be attracted through looks or emotion but want to mate when and as the hormones dictate.

It was simply a joke thread but I have enjoyed your opinions! No animals other than humans and monkeys copulate for fun, simply a survival instinct.

By the way I dont think my cats gay, Why do you think he is called Barry!!! lol

I had wondered as Moggs occasionally goes on a bit of a bumming mission LOL ...

Funny that you mention it being a dominance thing though as he is probably the most nervous little darling i know !!

I dunno about gay, but my old cat Henry was certainly very camp. He had the most incredible 'mince' as he walked across the room. We always said he should have been Larry Grayson's cat... :evillaugh:
