Gay cat-cest.

Seriously though, this just proves that it's only humans who artificially pigeonhole each-other into "gay" and "straight". The reality is that sexuality is a continuum. We should just learn to overcome social programming, embrace our nature and express ourselves without guilt hammered into our heads by patriarchy and religion.

My friend had two cats who used to regularly lick each other's genitals and were inseperable.

When he first described their behaviour it cracked me up, not because it was wrong or anything, but just because it was the first time I'd ever heard of gay cats.

[–]mapadelphia 22 points23 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think this behavior is common in cats that are taken from their mothers at a young age. Here is some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_behavior#Kneading

My cat kneads on anything that resembles memory foam or soft blankets.

[–]cats_dont_feel_love 51 points52 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is exactly right. I think it's important to remember that cats are heartless, furry killing machines that only behave in ways which serve their own interests.

Yea, most cats will outgrow it - but if they're separated from their mother at an early age they tend not to (and continue the behavior indefinitely).

[–]snowbirdie 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I've owned about 10 cats throughout my life. All of them did this. Usually it's to "pat down" a blanket before they sleep on it. One does it to my armpit while I'm asleep, another did it to my hair. They were taken from their mom at a legal age for adoption, which I think is 8 or 12 weeks. So, fairly normal for any cat. I've never seen it be outgrown though, especially with kneading a sleep area before they curl up.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

8 or 12 weeks is still pretty early, I don't think 12 week old cats live independently of their mother in in the wild.

[–]zublits 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Every one of my cats has also done this.

[–]midas22 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Unfortunately the legality for cat adoption doesn't take this kneading into much consideration but rather at what age we find them cute to play with.

[–]jefffan24 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

well that wasn't intentional....

We have no clue who shot her mother we just found her and her kittens in our backyard. We took the kittens in and nursed them until 8 weeks. Adopted out the others and kept her until she passed at 11 due to liver failure.

It's already explained in the thread, it's the milk kick, some cats who have been separated to early do this with everyone even when they are old. So it's not a cat "massaging" another one, it's just some kind of a retard. :D

Looks funny, though. ;)
