I own a gay cat
Interesting CNN article about being born gay or straight:

When I was a kid, I took a summer school course (for fun) in Zoology. We did much of our work at the zoo itself. One of the Zookeepers stated factually that the animal kingdom also has gay animals. He specified a ring-tailed lemur in their own collection who was. So, it's not as aberrant as most think. This is a collection in a small town with its own Zoo (and one of only 4 Elephant Birthing Complexes in the entire country...we should be so proud!)

ALL cats are wonderful.
When I was a kid, my next door neighbors had a French poodle who clearly was interested only in other boy dogs. It was my first exposure to homosexuality.

...or rather I live with one. I moved into a flat with three cats. One of them is 19, named Oliver. My roommate Evan has just taken it back home away from the other two who tormented the old thing. The other is Frederick, who's kind of an asshole. Just this big, fluffy thing that only wants to go where it's not allowed. Can't say I blame it but it gets annoying. And it keeps licking any inch of exposed skin it can find for some stupid reason. Salt? Or is it just a really annoying cat?
And then there's Hunter, who is sleeping on my stomach right now as I type after a busy evening of gazing longingly at me. Hunter is gray and relatively young, just an outright cuddle-slut. I'm a writer and I need to be able to type with my laptop but Hunter is not content to share me with anything. I try to position the laptop so I can write AND let the cat sleep on me, or rub me with its head, but it just keeps blocking my view of the screen. There can be nothing else in our worlds, only he and I. I've tried letting him sleep in my room but I can never sleep. It keeps rubbing me with its head for ####ing hours on end.
And when he's not gazing at me or doing that thing they do with their head, he'll reach other for me slowly with his paw. Very slowly and touch my face. And then do the head thing and block my view of the computer with its body.
I think this cat is gay. For me. This cat is gay, gay, gay. Sometimes Hunter and Frederick will lick each other while holding each other tenderly. I'd imagine that life in a confined space with another cat is not unlike prison rules, but they really seem to enjoy holding and licking each other. Almost as much as Hunter enjoys tenderly reaching out for me longingly.
Sexuality is fluid and I'd imagine no different in animals, but has anybody else encountered gay animals? Because - and I'm not mincing words here - this is a gay-ass cat. I have a dog back in Arizona that clearly shows a preference for older men, just wondering if this is a recurring thing.
