I think Brown cat may be a lesbian.  She tries to get a male mating position with the other cats (the others are female), and she tries to make territory like a male cat.

Sometimes my female dog likes to hump one of the cats(also female).

When we got them, we didn't really know how to raise goats. They act like dogs now. Wanting to be petted all the time, following us around, playing, asking for treats, sleeping on our feet under the table. 

It's not really a farm per se, my dad is an engineer. But since all previous generations were farmers, it felt natural for my parents to buy a house with a big terrain and fill it with critters.

I saw some gay stray dogs in a park here recently. Well, one was gay. The other wasn't really having it.

We seem to have acquired a cat.  One of aa's friends moved into a new rental property, and aa agreed that we'd look out for her cat "until she can convince the landlord to let her have a cat".    That was in August, IIRC.

It's OK, though.  She's housebroken, and gets along OK with the dog (which also technically we're just taking care of for someone else for a while.  The bad news is that she eats more in a week than the dog does in 2 months.

Sorry, cats can be great company, more so that most people.

I like the idea of a Cat Megathread.

Arkansas Democrat's cat killed, painted with "liberal"
By Suzi Parker Mon, Jan 23, 2012


LITTLE ROCK, Ark (Reuters) - A cat belonging to an Arkansas Democratic campaign manager was found dead on Sunday night with the word "Liberal" spray-painted across its side, the campaign manager said.

The cat was a pet of Jake Burris, who manages Democrat Ken Aden's bid for Arkansas' 3rd Congressional District. Aden is running against incumbent Republican Representative Steve Womack.

Burris was returning to his Russellville, Arkansas home with his four children when he found the cat on his doorstep, the Aden campaign said in a press release on Monday.

The mixed-breed Siamese cat had one side of its head bashed in to "the point the cat's eyeball was barely hanging from its socket," the release said.

Aden told Reuters that the event was "horrible, to say the least."

"Thankfully, there are not that many people who want to do something like this," Aden said. "The majority of people in this district are hard-working folks, but you get the occasional crazy individual out there."

The Russellville Police Department is investigating the incident as an animal cruelty case, according to a police official. Russellville is 80 miles west of Little Rock.

Aden and Burris said they did not believe Womack or his re-election campaign were involved in the incident.

Arkansas' 3rd District is heavily conservative Republican and has been held by a Republican since the 1966 election. Womack first won the congressional seat in 2010 with 72 percent of the vote.

The Womack campaign denounced the violence on Monday.

"The thought of brutalizing any animal for the sake of making a political statement is beyond any standard of decency and the person or people responsible for this act should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law," said Beau Walker, Womack's chief of staff.
