A Rainbow of Fabulous Feline Funnies to Celebrate Pride Month the Purrfect Way

Cats are fabulous, and so is Pride Month. Coincidence? We think not.

Not only is June "National Cat Adoption month", but it's also Pride Month. The one month a year when LGBTQ people celebrate with parades, parties, and demonstrations all around the world. They may look frivolous and flamboyant on the outside, but their history is much harsher. It all started in June 1969, when police raided Stonewall Inn in New York City. The LGBTQIA+ community rioted and protested for days after, leading to the national recognition of our community and what we call Pride Month today.

Now, you may be thinking to yourself, "But what does this have to do with cats?", and we have the purrfect answer. There are many documented cases of gay relationships in animals, most notably in sheep (where around 10% of sheep are considered gay), and also in penguins! We also have some purrsonal evidence to submit - one of our cats is gay. Even after being sterilized, he's only been interested in men. He hisses at anything female, and is suspiciously sweet with other male cats and hooman guys. What other explanation can there be other than that he's a little… you know.

But even if your cats aren't gay, they can still support their LGBTQIA+ pawrents. They love them more than any other hooman, and below, they're purroudly representing them with all the gay apparel their pawrents could find.

Remember that Pride Month is about inclusivity - it's not about excluding those who aren't part of the community. It's about love, acceptance, and being fabulous. The fact that both cats and Pride Month are fabulous is too close to be a coincidence, if you ask us. We think they've always been supporters, now we just have the social media posts to prove it.

Both cats and the queer communities are misunderstood. On the outside, they can be judged quite harshly, but once you take the time to get to know them, you realize that they are much nicer and more loving than you ever could have imagined. They can also be very judgmental. Have you ever seen your cat judge you for wearing a purrticular outfit? They got that from us.

Oh lord, he supportin'! Cats always choose the weirdest “toys” to play with, and this kitty seems to have developed a funny affinity for the gay pride flag. Who are we to stop his pawsitively purrfect expression? Wave it all you want, especially while it's still June, fluffy man.
