Is it possible my neutered male cat is a hermaphrodite? The way we knew it was time to get the other male cats in the house fixed was when they tried to mate with him (both before and after he was neutered). Also, we had four cats neutered at the same time, and it all went normally, but when the vet brought him out, she said she thought he might die, at least, that's what my husband thinks. We live in China, so he's not sure what the vet was saying. It'd be awfully nice if we could ask her if anything was weird in there, but she wants $350 because one of our cats scratched her (I don't even remember the incident, she just informed my neighbor who helped me later, and besides, wouldn't you think that'd be a hazard of the job?), so we go to a different vet now.
Anyway, this cat goes through phases where he just stands at the door and cries, or walks the house and yowls. I wouldn't say quite as bad as it was the single time the female cat we have went into heat before she was spayed, but it's something. None of the other cats do it. He also tries to escape regularly, mostly because he wants to rub his scent in the hallway (we live in an apartment building). The other cats occasionally target him to kind of try to mate with him, but they're neutered so it's really just like they have an instinct they don't understand. The biggest problem is that he pees on beds and nothing we do makes a difference. It has only just occurred to me that the only other cat that ever peed on a bed was the female when she was in heat.
Is it possible he also gives off female hormones and goes through some kind of heat cycle? I mean, if that were the case, and I had any idea how to talk to my Chinese vet about it, and he could get his female parts removed, and that would end his bad behaviors, I'd be so happy.
