Does this ever happen to you with your cat?

I think it's another word instead of "affectionate". LOL And yes he does grab little Chianti's neck sometimes. Then she runs away and gets mad. She thinks he is crazy.

Guess the six months is not a true and fast rule. He should have gone to the vet at the first signs of doing the mating dance. He is about five now and I hope it doesn't get any worse. He has never sprayed anything but he has pretended to when he is outside.

I think the old advice, with females anyway, was to let them have a first litter before neutering them but guess that has gone by the wayside.

I use to always think a male cat wouldn't spray if they were "fixed". But I was shown the light on that when my neighbors cat always sprayed at our front door. (They have moved now)
I have not had any problems with Taz spraying (thank goodness), although he does do the tail twitch thing sometimes.
Sorry, I don't know what to tell ya. Maybe ask the vet if there is something that can be done?
Good Luck! I know that is not a fun thing to deal with.

Thanks, I will if it gets bad. So far only once in a great while. I was just surprised he did it when he has been neutered.
