Can we talk about cat penises? Of course we can. Rather, I certainly can -- I already am -- but you should not feel obligated to read. Let me suit html to words and put a little LJ cut right here, so that those of you averse to zoophallic discussions can scroll right on by.

I am just now wondering when MY cats were fixed, as I have not seen their penii at all ever in the last decade. Hmm.

And, too, Kennedy seems manifestly uninterested in coitus-related domination games, but Nikita is the humpmeister. He's also periodically seized with the desire to lick Kennedy's face. (Kennedy takes the attention with a narrow-eyed but long-suffering expression.)

(I don't know if Kennedy is named for The Kennedys, or the VJ; he came with his name and answered to it, as much as a cat answers to anything, so I kept it; Nikita arrived as "Kit-Kat" which just didn't work for me, and was renamed (by my sister and housemates) for purposes of historical balancing.)

It was probably pretty young, I'm guessing. I really have never seen a male cat's penis before, and typically the male cats I've known have been fixed when they were wee kittens.

Booker grooms Malcolm, and vice versa, pretty much all the time; Malcolm only humps him every once in a while, usually when he's getting too big for his britches. It's so goofy looking I can't help but laugh. Booker gets a long-suffering expression on his face that only makes it funnier.

I'm really sorry I missed you when you were in Philly for a hot second, that sucks. Or rather, I suck. My usual bad email communication skills.

I deserve at least half the blame for our missed connection, I totally didn't remember to follow up oh, at all, until I was practically on the Megabus, at which point I felt it was too late. In any case, it is all right, I'm sure I'll be back! Perhaps for longer than a hot second, and with better organizational skills!

"IT WAS LIKE A HOT DOG TENTACLE. IN A PUFFY CRESCENT ROLL SLEEVE. HIS PENIS. OH MY GOD."

OMG

SERIOUSLY. OMFG.

Yep. My boys were fixed late and both merrily wave their penises about, from time to time. They seem happy. They don't engage in any dominance/mating behaviour, but being brothers, there isn't any dominance issue between the two of them. There was some confused "I know I am supposed to do SOMETHING with this" behaviour when I got the girls and they were calling. But neither of them worked out what they should do. They just knew they were supposed to do something.

That's actually pretty reassuring, since that's the general impression I have of Booker. The local unfixed ladycat sometimes yells at him, and he looks vaguely panicked, as though he's realizing he didn't study for a test, so it didn't seem like an unhappiness/I wish I had one issue.

[chiller]

Yes, that's exactly it! Almost a guilty "but what do you wannnnnnt?" look. By the sound of it, he was fixed long before things like spraying start to happen, so basically you should be ok. The only time fixing a cat doesn't help is if the cat is already well into the spraying-and-fucking stage of having balls.

(Pictures of Booker to come when I get them off of my phone and have access to some sort of image-resizing software.)

But not, I hope, of his penis.

His penis may be in the shot -- it's rogue that way -- but I promise it will not be the focus of my photography. You all can google cat penis, I'm not bringing it to the table for you.

[apiphile]

Thank you, but I think I may pass on this adventure into the lands of feline schlong.

[anoneknewmoose]

experienced cat owners will note that I did not dump him off of my lap, or indeed stop scritching his belly

Well, of course you didn't. Why would you?

[sinsense]

Exactly so.
