Nigerian Woman Disowns “World’s First Gay Cat” For Displaying Same Sex Attraction

A Nigerian woman is making some eyebrow-raising headlines after reportedly disowning her cat for “an unnatural sexual behavior” — allegedly, same-sex attraction.
As the Nigerian newspaper Leadership notes, the woman (identified simply as being middle-aged) rid herself of Bull, whom she owned for seven years, after the cat was deemed to “be in the habit of making sexual advances” only to other male cats in the household.

“By this, the cat has made a record as the first cat to be so publicly declared gay and disowned by its owner,” writer Donatus Nadi notes in the article. As for the cat’s disgruntled owner, she would only add, “Anybody interested in this gay cat can have it because I have no further use of it.”
The news comes just days after President Goodluck Jonathan signed a controversial bill banning same-sex marriage, gay “amorous relationships” and participation in LGBT rights groups.
While Bull may be the world’s first documented gay cat, other animals have exhibited what many believe to be same-sex attraction. In December 2013, it was revealed that penguins Chupchikoni and Suki, who live together in an Israeli zoo, were actually two females.
“We are certain that they made a choice to be together,” Tamuz Setti, head of the Safari Avian Department, told reporters at the time.
Meanwhile, in 2005, Romeo and Juliet — two graceful swans in Boston’s Public Garden who shared a nest — were found to both be female.

Poor cat… He’d get adopted over here with no issues. Maybe we should get Madonna involved.
