Question about an indelicate subject

[RICHARD]

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...

[Fuzzybuns]

My understanding is the mounting is more of a dominance issue than a hormonal one.

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.

Welcome back Richard

Oh yes...he went there

Too darn funny, especially this early in the morning!

I had a foster named Raven who had a botched spay, and went into heat. Tictac and Pink Nose, both altered for many years, tried VERY hard to get her "with kitten"! We even have pics! Talk about purrno...

[RICHARD]

Talk about purrno...

I'd rather see it...

Thanks DJ!

I'm hoping that this is the case with Sky. Because he's been trying to mount Ziggy. I've seen him do this several times lately and he even bites her on the neck like male cats do when they're trying to mate with females. I break it up and Ziggy just lies there and doesn't know what to do. All of my cats are spayed and neutered so I'd better not end up with any pregnant cats.

Yep, it's a dominance thing more often than not. Coco Puff mounts and bites the neck of both male and female here. He's been neutered, of course. Boo Bear does it to Pidge but she's his squeeze, so I think it might be different there. He's been neutered, too, of course. But it's a male thing, whether sexual or dominance.

That explains a lot of the behavior of the idiot that was my boss at my last job.

Ruh roh!

[Don Juan's mom]

Don Juan, who was neutered at 1.5 years (after which the Humane Society let me take him home), still sometimes mounts Zerlina. Zerlina responds with a half-snarl half-meow which I think translates as "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU???? I'VE BEEN SPAYED!!!

None of my boys have ever mounted any of the girls, but Jorgie had this "thing" for Tazzer when he was with me. I'd find them on my bed or on the carpet, and normally Taz was on his back, belly up, and Jorgie was "making biscuits" on his belly and sucking on his fur. It was BIZARRE! I still think Jorgie is gay, as he always tries to make friends with any new male in the house, lol.
