Poor kitty. Hope he doesn’t starve. I’ve actually seen male Felis domesticus grab other male house cats by the neck and mount them, apparently as a dominance thing. The ones I’ve seen haven’t, ahem, really done much in terms of real action. They seemed to be showing the other cat who was boss.

That poor Nigerian cat must think its former home was a prison.

*Most* mounting behavior is dominance.

Some critters, however, are just all messed up.

As an owner of numerous kittehs over 40 years, it is exactly a male dominance thing. Once they establish dominance it stops. And I’ve never caught any of my kittehs watching Bravo or Brokeback mountain.
