Hormonal instincts to procreate. Cats will mate multiple times to increase the chance of the female conceiving with the male's genes.
Female cats can also get pregnant to several males at the one time.
It is for dominance they do that if there neutered or not it is just something they do some females even do it.
I believe the dog wants to show the cat who is boss. Domination. Pecking order thing.
They do this because the are horny and the both know they have nothing so why not hump eachother!
There is nothing sexual about it. It is just a show of dominance.
Most male cats fight to show dominance or to scare off another male cat from a female cat.
Male cats love all genders.
it's to show dominance
It may not have been completely fixed.
I have a male that does it to everything. Not something we particularly like to see, but it is normal.
You spay a female dog and cat, you neuter a male dog and cat.
There is the female dog (bitch) and the male dog (bastard OR stud), what the genders are in breeding terms.
Humping, when not in mating season, is a sign of dominance. Dogs will do it to anything they believe is below them in the pack order - including the cat.
There are a number of possible reasons as to why a male dog may not hump anything. The usual reason is because the dog has been neutered and no longer has the desire.
Dogs cannot mate with cats. However, if a male dog mated with a female cat it would be called a Dat, and a male cat with a female dog would be a Cog.
Yes. Only the testicles on the male have been removed, not the penis. Penetration will still happen, as the male dog can still maintain an erection. There is just no sperm production. Indeed, neutered male dogs can maintain an erection, penetrate a female and actually achieve orgasm, and will "tie" with the female. Most neutered males are less interested in sex due to lowered testosterone levels, but still capable of all the actions. They simply do not produce sperm and cannot impregnate a female.
Often, a male dog is protective of the pregnant female dog, usually if he is the "mate." Sometimes dogs, mates of the pregnant dog or not, will act aggressivley towards the female dog, also known as the "bitch."
He will try to mate with her, stand up on her back & hump her. If she is not fixed she will get pregnant.
Yes. It is just like how after the first sex, a human can get pregnant.
There is a possibilty that the male cat may be reacting to the female dog in a weird way if he is the only cat in the household. If the male cat is not fixed - that could be a reasoning why as well. Keep them separated for a while. You don't want to irritate a female dog when she is in heat.
Probably female so they don't fight for a spot! :)
