"Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures." ~ Samuel Johnson
There was time when sex and reproduction posed as an existential threat to all: When the entire population, humans and animals alike, were stuck on a single, dingy, barely-afloat boat. With no shore in sight, as thunderous skies clapped; snuffing every hope of sunlight.
The captain of the ship ordered a decree, applicable to all the passengers of his overloaded ship: “NO REPRODUCTION ALLOWED UNTIL THE SHIP DOCKS! We can’t afford the extra weight. If this ship sinks, we’re done for it!”
Naturally, at the risk of sinking the entire chain of evolution, everyone refrained from canoodling. Pious or not, begrudgingly or relieved, the sexes segregated and a silence fell in the divide.
For what could possibly be more interesting than talking about sex on a doomed ship?
Anyway, nine weeks later, and right under the captain’s nose, a handful of kittens and puppies chased each other on the ship’s deck. “Hmm, that’s odd,” thought the captain, “I don’t remember bringing more than a pair of adult cats and dogs on board. Where did…no, wait…PROPHETIC OATHES!!”
Hence, for risking the survival of their fellow passengers, cats and dogs since then were cursed to copulate aloud, shameless and publicly, for ever and ever and after.

Nice story!
You could of course add that dinosaurs are extinct for the same reason. Illegal sex, followed by being forced to walk the plank...
The Sufi version of this story (the one I know) goes like this: Dog and Bitch decide to ignore the good captain's advice and get jiggy wi' it. Cat sees them and plays taddle tail. Dog then curses Cat and his descendants to noisy love making forever.
Hmm this is something I could tell the kids, hehehe! I've had my cousins' kids ask me "why is that big boy cat on top kitty?"
