My Dilemma....

[Bay_Kat]

I've got 4 cats, all of which I love. 1 female and 3 males, aging from 12 weeks to 4 years, the female and 2 of the males are "fixed". The youngest is 12 weeks and for some reason here in Florida, I can't find anyone that will neuter the male until he is 16 weeks old which is not a big deal since they are all indoor cats. But as soon as he turns 16 weeks old, "SNIP".

Anyway, the problem I have is that the two older neutered males are close, not related in any way and separated by about 2 years. They are together all the time. One has short hair the other has long hair, they groom each other but the short hair gets hair balls and about every other week coughs them up. He's the only one that does this so I am assuming that it's becasue he is grooming the long hair. My question is this normal?

My question is this normal?

The grooming each other or the harking of the hairballs?

The grooming each other or the harking of the hairballs?

Are they ghey?

Both are normal.

But BayKat, get him some of that hairball remedy stuff.

Will do, thanks. Figured since he has short hair he may have a low tolerance for the hair balls.

I have six cats and they are groom each other. We've never talked about their sexual preference.

just strange the way these two act, always sleeping together and grooming each other, the ghey thing was a joke, I just hate to see one of them hacking up hair balls it makes me nervous.

Don't ask, don't tell is the best way to deal with these cat situations. I do know Kiki gets upset when I refer to Gidgie as her sister. But we don't discuss it.

That just made me laugh for at least 5 min. No idea why.

I guess I had this mental image of someone sitting in a circle on the carpet with the cats discussing safe sex.

Reminds me of the t shirt I saw that said "If you won't talk to your cats about catnip, who will?"
