    Is that how it works? I’ve had dogs try breeding my leg, cats not so much. That anecdote presents an opposite case.

      Ive seen a dog hump inanimate objects so I don’t think thats a great gauge.

      My cat hates every other cat it meets, but loves every person it meets. I think it knows the difference.

        Horny cats might randomly bite your ankle (if male) or enrich your nights (and your neighbours’) with the song of their people (if female), but I’ve never seen a cat trying to hump a human (or anything other than another cat).

        Dogs? Sure. Endangered New Zealand flightless parrots? Yeah. Once. On video. Cats? Not once.

          My cat does it. I’ve had him his whole life but I got him fixed terribly late and let’s just say he gets confused. I’ll be holding him like baby like he likes me to do and suddenly he starts twitching and I tell him “you’re being weird you gotta go now” and he grumbles at me and leaves.
