There's life in the old dog yet...

Makes me glad I'm a human being reading this lot .......

Phoenix I am confused now by the male cat being parted from his bits.

Do you mean the barbed bit? If so what happens with the next female cat he screws?

And I'm sure there's a law against it Phoenix

Apparently it's one of the ways that you can tell if a male cat has been successfully parted from his bits. The late lamented Maurice used to assault poor old Clucky from time to time (I think he had a thing for older women) and I was advised to erm, sort of furtle about to see if he had the barb or not

He would often ahem "leave the lid off his lip liner" when performing his ablutions, but I didn't feel he would appreciate me lunging for him and trying to expose more than he was showing

[instinctivelycrosseslegs]

OUCH!

I'll store that piece of infirmation away Phoenix - you never know when it might come in useful

Flipping heck! [ouch emoticon]

My late cats never engaged in such beastliness!

loopylou !!!!

Anya when cats mate, there is a sort of "barb" at the end of the penis that actually digs in to the female at the crucial moment! No wonder they yowl!

Being sh....d by a dog? !

loopylou poor old fellow hadn't a clue before yesterday, The Hussy led him on! And I had no idea he could do other than play mount her or I'd have kept a closer eye on them.

Had to wake him up this morning as he was knackered worn out.

Phoenix what's worse for cats?

Aaah!

By the way, it's worse for female cats!

Sounds as though she called him over and invited him in, though.

Keep schtumm, Anya, unless you think she will have a sense of humour about it.

When we had our holiday cottage, we kept a couple of ewes (Jacob) in the rather large "garden" to act as lawnmowers. They usually went away to join their female relations with a handsome tup or two for a couple of weeks in November, resulting in lambs (ahh) but one year they stayed at home. In the field next door was one very elderly (non-Jacob) tup with arthritis, who was still there because he had been a pet and no-one could face getting rid of him. He could barely walk around and had long since been retired from siring duties. One of the ewes was discovered peacefully munching grass in beside him. She was returned home forthwith and no more thought of it until spring - when twin black lambs appeared, as if by magic.

Googled (!) and no way should he be able to father puppies, mounting the Hussy is his way of showing dominance over her, so she isn't a Hussy, he's to blame!

every dog has his day

I wonder if the patter of tiny paws is possible

I (obviously wrongly) assumed a castrated dog was incapable.....just hope the Hussy isn't pregnant.....may be best to confess!

I started a perfectly respectable thread and when I return....

Update, the old dog not only revived but seemed to be up for a second helping. So I took The Hussy back to her house. I was only grateful it didn't happen on Monday when all four GC were here

Now my dilemma .. do I tell my daughter her dog has been deflowered or do I keep schtum?

That reminds me of the old joke about the old lady that threw a bucket of water over a tandem as they pedalled past.

I have just been reminded of one morning a few months ago when I looked out of the kitchen window and saw a most peculiar shape at the bottom of the lawn.It was so odd I rubbed my eyes and looked harder,I realised it was two foxes mating and I saw the appropriatness(sp?) of the expression "the beast with two backs"..DH refused my request to go out and throw a bucket of water on them.I don't know whether he didn't want to spoil the moment or was scared.

Oh love it merlot I had heard that before but didn't know who said it.

Wasn't it Noel Coward who told a child that the reason one dog had just mounted another was that the one in front was blind so his friend was pushing him all the way to St. Dunstans?

Nelliem you've just made me choke on and spill my glass of cheap bargain red wine all down my front!

Thanks Elegran So! the poor dogs willie gets bent backwards. My mind is boggling! No wonder he cant walk properly.

NelliemWanders off to out her sausages under the now hot grill.

Nellie I don't think they start back-to-back. They "seize up" for some time afterwards, and when they try to disengage they get into odd positions. drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/neutered-male-dogs-can-still-have-sex
