Strange animal behavior......by kim

Can someone tell me the reason that my Male Neutered Dog and my Male Neutered Cat have a "thing" going on??

It's been going on for some time, but you know it's a bit of a Brokeback mountain thing, and just like Ennis said "Bottom line is... We're around each other an'... This thing, it grabs hold of us again... At the wrong place... At the wrong time... And we're dead." Dash the cat is saying the same thing.

He's very discreet about it, and if we catch them, he has a panicked look on his face and then does just what his name says - Dash!

Ticky the bumbling fool, will steal a chance at luvin' any time he gets, mostly its when he comes in from outside.

But let me tell you, the weirdest thing is when the cat is trying to ride the dog, it's very awkward, the dog has to be focused on chewing on something on the floor and the cat comes over on his tiptoes and carefully (trying hard not to let his body touch the dog of course, that would be gross says the cat) positions himself over the dog and then he bites his back or grabs with his teeth the fur on his back. It's a very strange sight, I will tell you.

This dog is the strangest dog in the world and honestly I think he really doesn't realize he is a dog, or a male dog at least. He pee's and still squats, okay that is semi normal. But this little boy dog is the only little boy dog I have ever had that has not made it a habit to hump everything laying on the floor, I mean my other dogs all would take advantage of my stuffed animals, friends legs, shoes, blankets, you name it( and they were all neutered)..... this little guy Ticky, he doesn't get it, and he really doesn't do the cat in a way that tells me he is trying to pleasure himself, he just does a little hump, hump, growls a bit and then starts runs away.

Maybe I'm wrong all together, but my theory is not that I have a romantic couple here, but a dog that thinks he has to show the cat who is the boss every time he steps outside and comes back in...The cat, I'm not so sure why he does it.

Maybe someone can shed some light on this strange behavior, until then I will hang a rainbow flag by their food bowls and give them some private time, just to let them know that I support their lifestyle:)
