So after reading all these threads about aggressive behavior and peeing problems Ive got some questions of my own....
1) Hercules is getting fixed on the 26th. There have been some random spurts of, what to me looks like rough housing, but could be deemed aggressive actions where Hercules will stalk and "attack" Fatman. When he doesn this it does not look malicious it looks like play his ears are up and and his tail is playful flinging not twitchy flicking. After he gets fixed will this stop? Its not that it causes any injuries between the two I think Hercules is just trying to get Fatman to play with him.
2) Is it true that if you do not have a problem with spraying in unsexed male and then you get them fixed could it instigate a spraying/peeing problem because of the loss of hormones? *This is something Ive heard word of mouth.
3) Is Hercules going to become a fat cat? Granted Ive got a weird obsession with fat cats but I dont want him to become unhealthy by gaining too much weight after surgery. He doesnt eat treats or anything like that but every once in a while he will get a little unseasoned chicken or hamburger but he rarely snacks on anything. He is currently a very sleek muscular cat who is remarkably LAZY!!!!! The only time he plays or runs is when GiGi is "attacking" him or when he stalks Fatman. But other than that he sleeps either in bed or in our baywindow. Ive tried toys and stuff but he could care less about playing he doesnt even like catnip!
4) I plan on getting GiGi fixed at the end of next month or beginning of Nov. Is there anything I should prepare myself for in the event of her surgery and what will happen to her personality or body post op. I know the vets will tell me some of this stuff but Id prefer to hear if from people who have experianced this stuff first hand with their own babies that they have love time and emotional attachment invested in.
Thanks
