I have a multi-cat household, all the male cats are neutered..the last one was done on the 10th of December (Toby, not pictured), all my females are done except two.(Candy and Honey)
Candy is in heat, only one neutered male (since last march)
is reponding...Tyler is trying to do something but cannot get it right(if you know what i mean). I thought once a male is neutered his "feelings" to do anything go away..he keeps getting"in the position with her" but his equipment isn't working. She is driving him nuts. Is he weird or what?
There both doing an awful lot of grooming!

If you have a male that has been recently neutered, you cannot allow him around an unspayed female. They can still get her pregnant within 30 or so days. It probably takes a few months to get all the hormones completely out of the system.

I've had neutered males (done for years) that still "knew" basically what to do. Some I suspect were toms before they were neutered and never forgot. However, I've had kittens (never bred) who acted like they were breeding. A female in heat can trigger a sexual/dominate behavior in a neutered male.

Seb is one of those who was neutered as an adult. He remembers! The reason he has FIV is because he was hurt while fighting to protect his territory and females years after he was neutered. He also attempts to mate if there is a female in heat. Never does it as a dominance thing. So, this isn't unusual.

Ping was neutered Feb or Mar of this year. We got him as a young kit so he never mated. When Pong went into her first heat eariler in the month be danged if he did not figure out real quick what to do.
