Dear Abby

By Abigail Van Buren

Dear Abby:

Do you know anything about jaguars?

We just got one for a pet and he is a very lovable cat. We wanted to mate him, so we borrowed a female jaguar for that purpose. We put them together and he wouldn't have a thing to do with her.

She didn't seem to have any interest in him. either. but I think if he had romanced her a little, she might have cooperated.

My wife says she thinks our cat is homosexual. Abby, have you ever heard of a homosexual cat? I asked our vet, and he just laughed. I'd really like to know.

Dear Serious:

I asked one of the finest vets in the profession. (Dr. Herman Salk of Palm Springs, Cal.) and he didn't laugh.

Instead he told me that unless the female is "in heat," the male will have nothing to do with her. And

she could also care less about him. Also, some cats refuse to breed in captivity.
