Question about an indelicate subject

[smokey the elder]

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...

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, 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!!!
