He's neutered and trying to MATE! :-O

[Don Juan's mom]

OK, I finally figured out what's going on in some of those wrestling matches between Don Juan and Zerlina: He's trying to MATE with her.

Yes, he's neutered. He was neutered at the time that I adopted him, when he was about 18 months old. He's 5 1/2 now. Zerlina is spayed, so I doubt that she's giving off any heat-seeking signals.

Zerlina is putting up a fight, lots of squealing and hitting and biting (no blood). She has enough catitude to make up for the difference in sizes. But I know she doesn't like this. Do I need to get a spray bottle to discourage Don Juan?

I think Zerlina sounds like she can take care of herself, but it might not hurt to have Mr. Squirty handy. I have this spayed female foster who keeps "hitting on" TicTac, who's neutered! That is so weird, but not unusual.

It's a dominance issue, and nothing sexual in any way, though it's hard to believe lol! My neutered males do the same thing to others, and I ingnore it. Don Juan is only trying to live up to his romantic name!

You mean, when Magoo is "fluffing" CCL's body pillow, he's just trying to show it who's boss?

Maybe I will put my paws on a spray bottle, to help Don Juan get the message that No Means No.

This comment just cracked me up as my Mishi does this to my teddy bear, Muffy, and when he does, I call it "muffing."

ROLMAO!!! And I could sure use some laughs today. I guess Magoo being vision impaired really can't tell he's dominating a pillow! Wally has his 'girlfriend' too...my fuzzy couch blanket, and he gets mighty P.O d at me when I take it away to wash it lol!
