My Pet is a Bit Funny

This essential page for the modern pet owner is about the problems posed by their animals orientation.

Many people will say "I think my dog is a bit odd" or if they have a cat they will say the same thing but replacing the word dog with cat.

Some will be too ashamed to confront the issue and deal with it by pretending the pet belongs to someone else.

How often have you looked at a neighbour's animal and wished that your own dog could be more like his?

That he might want to chase balls and bite people rather than mooning around the house listening to the Scissor Sisters?

I know from my own experience with a pet of this sort that this can lead to a great deal of shame among friends.

Hiding the creature in a closet when people come round. Pretending that it died or has been given to a passing traveller for company.

This page is dedicated to the fine work of a specialist Gay Pet treament center, run by Doctor Frikker, an expert if ever there was one.

Please note.

This page is not a dating site.

I appreciate some people may come here to investigate these important matters from a dating angle.

Please be aware that this page is about curing the problem, not encouraging it.

If you want to frolic in an unnatural way with other people then I suggest you look elsewhere - rather than this serious and informative piece on treatment solutions.

My Background

First a bit about me. I am a qualified veterinary practitioner with many years experience in treating gay pets.

Initially I was an ordinary vet, but realised there was a boom market in playing on people’s homophobia, and got in quickly and early – as they say in these parts.

So we set up our Big Boy Pet Wellness Clinic and have been busy solving gayness pet wise ever since. Covering livestock, fish, birds, reptiles and animals - we are now the number one gay treatment facility in West Texas.

In fact we are the only one left now since the protesters closed down the other two. Apparently these people think gay should be allowed to flourish until the whole world is overrun with such creatures.

We are fortunate to have our own security staff and will continue this essential service for worried owners. Less competition for us, but more protection for you as our service continues to expand.

So, if you are rightly concerned or worried about your gay pet, please read on.

Is My Pet Gay?

Next to “my animal is unwell”, we find concerns over gay behaviour to be top of most people’s list when it comes to their animal worries.

Who to treat? The owner or the pet?

The pet of course – I jest, in a slightly gay manner.

Don’t be alarmed – I haven’t become gay by mixing with gay animals. Oh no. In any case that theory has long been discredited – there is no physical harm of gay to the owner – it is not transmittable between species.

No, owners are concerned by what people think. Right thinking people may assume the owner is gay as well, if they spot gay behaviour in their pet. That may lead to persecution or even ostracism (where the head is placed in a bucket of sand).

...

Gayness in pets is the number one cause of dumped animals. Act now. Before it’s too late.

Identifying Gay Behaviour

It’s a shocking fact that on the surface many seemingly straight pets are actually well gay.

They may do normal animal things but there are tell tale signs for the observant and worried owner.


  • Does your cat purr and like to sit in warm places?
  • Does your dog lick or bury his bone?
  • Does your horse like to be ridden hard, and bareback?
  • Does your hamster (edit later – I don’t know what hamsters do)
  • Do your fish swim together?


Yes, even fish can be treated, with a course of our “I’m Not Gay” fish pellets.

Anyway, they’re all probably gay, just look at them.

Proper Diagnosis

It’s surprising how many pets are brought to us by owners who mistakenly think they are gay when in fact they are not and no treatment is therefore required.

That’s right - it’s none.


In all cases the owner has already correctly diagnosed dubious behaviour and made the right decision to seek expert help.


It’s fortunate we have such astute owners visiting us. So our professional analysis of the problem will usually consist of a chat between us, and perhaps a quick glance at the unlucky creature.


I try to avoid direct contact with the actual animal itself as I have a mite allergy.


Once pronounced gay officially and the level of behaviour has been determined then we can proceed to the treatment phase, or sentence as I jokingly call it. This genuine fake sincere bedside manner seems to go down well with the owners.


Just one course of these pills at twenty five dollars per pill can make most problems disappear.  Probably.

Treatment Options

At the Big Boy Pet Wellness Center we offer a range of treatments.


These are mainly based on homopathic (ed: surely homeopathic?) remedies - with the additional option of a course of patented electro shock therapy as pioneered in our associated Guantanamo Treatment facility (we call it shock and paw).


These treatments are not cheap.


  • Cheap doesn’t fix gay.
  • Cheap returns to gay behaviour.


Other vets will diagnose an inexpensive course of pills and within months the animal will be back to their old ways. We use a potent mix of Chinese herbs using a formula known only to a sect of Buddhist monks, who are equally concerned about this modern plague.


“Expensive but proven” is our motto and we stand by our record of curing gay pets, and our legal representatives also stand by it.


What About Neutering?

Some pet owners do suffer terribly from the stigma of being associated with a well gay pet.


We are often asked by these people whether neutering would help. We have a fairly strict professional line on this.


Only under very special circumstances will we offer to neuter an owner - and that is when we feel they are a particularly deserving case.

In Summary

Although gayness pet wise can be a real concern it can be dealt with.

Some people will say that the sexual orientation (don’t they use big words when they’re bulling you?) is no big deal and that “all animals have a right to be treated equally”.

Lol. Yeah right.

As a qualified person, in a non legal sense, I can assure you they are wrong.

If left untreated, gay pets will lead to a total breakdown in pet society, resulting in corruption of our younger pets and an increased awareness of Kylie Minogue.

I hope this information has helped you reinforce some stereotypes and be as determined as we are to root out this cancer in our pet society.

As we say in these parts – let’s keep the big gay horse in the barn.

Oh my God is there really such a thing? this hub is really new to me and I can say this is unique. I wonder what made some owners think that thier pets are gay...if they hump fellow male dogs will the mean the dog is gay?if the female dog wants to do the humping instead of be humped would that mean she is gay....? at least I am sure my dogs are not gay...Good job

When I saw this pop up on my Hubpages log in I had to come and look. It brought to mind my friends dog who not only was gay but had a beanbag fetish. They let him have a beanbag to hump to stop him trying to sh@g everything else. Every time someone visited the house they had to remind them not to sit on the beanbag.

Mark Ewbie profile image

Mark Ewbie Hub Author 17 months ago

Lol Spacey, good story. Got to be a market in those bean bags... I missed a trick.

ROFL and all that! And if my dogs are gay - maybe they are judging by your identifying symptoms - they are NEVER going to come out of the closet!

Mark Ewbie Hub Author 17 months ago

Thanks Shalini, I like a good ROFL. Not in a gay way of course.

Great humor here, I'm sure there are devout pet owners that actually worry about that, and are horrified if a child should ever witness Fido's wayward behavior. I don't know about cats, but in my life I have seen this among dogs more than once, so it may be fairly common.

Mark Ewbie profile image

Mark Ewbie Hub Author 17 months ago

Thanks Fgual - apparently it's reasonably common in all forms of animals. I could have drawn more parallels with treatment of human 'deviant' behaviour back in the 60's, but that would have required a bit more effort on my part. Not my strong point - research.

Hahahaha! Would be ROFL but I actually read this with my gay cat curled up in my lap. I never saw anything wrong with his behavior, but well-informed friends kept alerting me to his gayness until I finally accepted the truth. Not only does my boy cat cuddle and purr, but he also has a strange penchant for parenting wayward kittens. He likes to snuggle with them and give them baths. I thought I must have been the only pet owner out there with a gay cat, but now I realize its an epidemic. As I'm a starving freelance writer, I don't think I can afford your expensive but proven clinic. I'll just have to keep on trying to pray away the gay...

I must admit I am disappointed with the lack of information about gay hamsters here! You did say research was not your strong point, but I really want to know more about gay hamsters!

Great article about gay cats, dogs and horses! May your veterinary practise flourish! I'm sure there's a need.

Mark Ewbie profile image

Mark Ewbie Hub Author 17 months ago

Izzy, I am disappointed as well. Given that I have promoted this article purely on the basis of it's hamster information I feel like a fraud.

Er, not in a legal sense obviously.

Why try to change your pet if he’s gay? I had a dog once who was gay… Well, he would have liked to have been; he swung both ways. But it was wonderful coming home in the evening to find he’d misted the orchids; there would be a lovely quiche in the oven, and the curtains would have been drawn so nicely.

Frankly I didn’t mind it at all when he asked if he could put a Madonna poster in his part of the bedroom.

Mark Ewbie profile image

Mark Ewbie Hub Author 16 months ago

Twilight my friend - why try to change? If all our owners said that we'd be out of business.

I couldn't resist this hub when looking for your toaster articles. I read between the lines as well as you hoped and although I think we probably find ourselves on mostly opposite sides of the spectrum concerning gay animals, I had to vote this one up because I had a good laugh.

Mark Ewbie profile image

Mark Ewbie Hub Author 15 months ago

Thanks Alexander, I appreciate your sentiment and your ability to still enjoy the laugh.

Mark, I am so glad that I found this hub and will contact you shortly. I have been so upset! My handsome male cat has taken to listening to Edith Piaf CDs, and watching the Golden Girls on TV. I am afraid this may have a negative effect on my impressionable young sons.

Mark Ewbie profile image

Mark Ewbie Hub Author 15 months ago

Hi Dolores - I am glad you found it as well! You have sons in the house? With a gay animal? Do you have any idea what risks you are taking?

There's not a moment to waste...

The funniest part is knowing that if a vet could keep a straight face, a gay pet clinic would flourish!

Up and hilarious!

Thanks Will - well we keep a straight face and pocket the cash at the Gay Wellness clinic. The more you pay, the more you can be assured.

Love it.

I have lots of animals, some gay, some not. Not worried. If it hasn't spread to the non-gay animals in this many years, they must have a natural immunity to it.

Keep up the gay work!

peace...always,

Diana

Mark Ewbie profile image

Mark Ewbie Hub Author 13 months ago

As a professional vet the idea of natural immunity fills me with horror. But thanks for your comment Diana and I will continue with my gay efforts of course.

No, seriously, thanks!

Years ago I made a post - something about Catholic school girls. I don't remember what the full title was any more. I posted a picture of stick figure girls drawn with the microbelt skirts and etc. I had masses and masses of traffic. It was the days before anyone talked about bounce rates. But, people (well, all men actually) did leave me some very nasty, frustrated and bitter comments. I just laughed about it all. Served them right for being such porn dogs.

Mark Ewbie Hub Author 3 months ago

I agree with serve them right, but then I don't want to be tagged for misleading content. Ah, the cost of trying to be 'funny'.
