Hmm, are dogs and cats capable of incest ?

[UndertheOcean]

my curiosity is weird , I will admit to that.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

1. Of course. This is why pure breeds are so jacked up health wise.

Breeders allow brothers and sisters and mothers and sons, etc, to mate.

2. I don't know about cats, but from what I've heard, dogs don't have a problem with it

which can be a problem genetically in the long run.

3. Uh, a dog will hump your leg if you let him......

Do you think he will worry about "family" when a girl goes into heat?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Dogs and cats aren't fussy that way.

They'll do anybody.

4. They really don't care...

Two of my cats won't leave each other alone...they're sisters. The third sister doesn't want any part of it, though.

5. Yes.

I witnessed one of my sisters terriers (who was neutered even!) try to mount his dam.....

6. Do you mean with each other?

They'd have to be related for that and if they were related, they would be a strange mix of dogcat. :rofl:

But as for dogs and dogs and cats and cats, double-pawed cats are often the result of incest. As for dogs, I once had a dog whose mother was his sister. :wow:

He wasn't very bright. :dunce:

7. One question for you, and you need not answer if you do not want:

Are you sober right now?

:evilgrin:

[UndertheOcean]

12. Yes , but considering me , thats not saying much

[Tom Kitten]

8. Good question!

I think we need The Church to decide for us, once and for all...

[elshiva]

9. Yes. If the female is in heat, she'll do any male who comes

along even her father or grandfather and of course brothers.

[Withywindle]

10. Of course they are.

They're just not capable of giving a damn about it. They don't have the taboos we do, they just go at it.

[XemaSab]

11. Yes

I had some MESSED UP cats that lived downstairs that were the product of a brother x sister FOLLOWED by one of their kids mating with mom.

Those were some MESSED UP cats. :o

13. Thelma Lou, bestest ole dog in the World...

Mom and son thing....

She was so good and sweet and funny.

She'd cruise the family room every night toddling up
to everyone there to give them
an old lickety kiss...then she'd go off to bed.

Thelma Lou(ise) Priscilla RIP 1980-1994..

14. A better question: What exactly ARE the social taboos of dogs and cats?

[meow2u3]

15. Cats are capable of incestuous relations

I don't know about dogs, but I've heard of brother-sister matings resulting in litters of kittens. Needless to say, those kittens don't usually turn out to very good cats due to the inbreeding.

That's one more reason to get your cats spayed or neutered.

[Inchworm]

16. Capable?

It's what they do the best I can tell :D

:hi:

[pokerfan]

17. Yes

18. Dogs aren't capable of incest with cats

Not only are they not related, they're not even the same species! :rofl:
