    My understanding is the mounting is more of a dominance issue than a hormonal one. Bear and Pooky occasionally do this to each other (they are brothers), although Jack sometimes does this to soft furry blankets. I once had a Manx cat that did that to his fuzzball toy.

    My Boo Bear is 15 and I had him neutered as a kitten. He still gets on Pidge's back and bites her neck. He used to do it to his sis (RB) Peeka, too, and she'd growl as if to say "Get him off me!" I wouldn't worry about it. They're just being male.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Okay, so no worries that the vet "missed something" and that we need to be concerned that Decker might start spraying and marking in the house because of it. I'll tell Richard this to ease his mind. Sounds like it's just boys being boys.

    Thanks everyone!

    From Decker with Love

    Both Willy & Nugget were neutered when they were months old and ummm, lets just say that they enjoy each other's company a little too much at times.
    The only problem with that is, they both get matted on top of their backs.

    Miquelito will do this if an unaltered male Cat gets too close to the porch and he grabs Pouncierge by the back of the neck.
    Mr Scrappy did this to Pouncer once in a while and took a beating!!!
    Micheal tried that with The Princess once and only once.
    Did the fur ever fly then!!!!!

    There once was a cat named Decker,
    Who's thoughts were on his p-cker-
    He mounted up on Moxie,
    Who he thought of as foxy
    But he's only managed to wreck her...

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    That's what I always thought too. Neither of my boys try it but I wouldn't be suprised if I ever saw Churchy try, he's still trying to find his spot on the totem pole. He's realized that Toby's "Major Gato", now he's just got to figure where Dixie's at.
