WHAT IS A CAT IN THE GAY COMMUNY

The t likely don’t re one b so if you thk your t is gay, you are ee to label them as such! For those who thk homosexualy is unnatural, there are hundreds of speci of animals that have monstrated homosexual behavrs acrdg to possibly my new favore book, “Blogil Exuberance: Homosexualy and Natural Diversy” by Bce Bagemihl. Homosexualy has been observed bighorn sheep, flamgos, gorillas, and whal among many, many others.

Cats big and ltle have been observed engagg homosexual behavrs, although some s they may not be actual sexual behavr and stead are jt affectnate behavr between iendly animals. Observatns of homosexual behavr among hoe ts has even been documented the scientific lerature (Fox, 1965).

One that Yamane and other rearchers (Michael, 1961) noted is that homosexual behavr may be terrory related, though Yamane puts forth other potential explanatns cludg practicg for future sexual enunters, rcg sexual enunters between sexual petors, and nfg a male t for a female t heat. This explas why most studi on t behavr foc on sgular enunters and why you’ll notice above I didn’t talk about long term pairs of ts homosexual pairgs.

GAY

But before we n terme whether pets n be gay, we first need to set the basele for what is nsired "gay" the animal kgdom.

While there's been much speculatn, there's no scientific evince of var animals, pecially hoe pets, beg gay or not.

So, if you're cur if your dog or t is gay, know that there is currently no evince to support this notn at least terms that humans are ed to fg homosexualy. Scientists often study two thgs when tryg to terme whether animals n be gay: exclivy and longevy.
