tricolour male cat

Hi,
. My name is Adah. I have a tricolour male cat. He is one and a half years old,
but from his body size he looks like a 9 month old cat. He has got very small
testicles (about 0.6-0.7cm in diameter).
.
. He did not use to go out much, because he is a scardy cat. He lives in a
house with 6 other cats and he is the youngest.
.
. When he turned one, he began tailing my spayed female cat (2 1/2 years old).
He even tries to mount her, but so far he only manages to hold on to her neck.
Few months later, he began tailing my castrated male cat ( also 2 1/2 years
old). He ventures out of the house more often nowadays but he is still a scardy
cat.
.
. So, my question is, do you know why he does this? How do i stop this behaviour?
.
. Thank you.

have him neutered.

He is an intact male, and knows it,
I agree, have him neutered. I can't imagine a reason not to do it~

Hi, welcome to TCS! How very fascinating that you have a tricoloured male kitty! I'm sure you are already aware that he is most definately sterile. Do you have any pictures? We would just love to see your unique little boy!

Neutering (Castration)

Even though he is tricolor and would be sterile, his body is still producing testosterone, getting him neutered will stop that. I have a one and a half year old that is tiny (7lb.), he had a retianed testicle, it took us 3 surgery's to find the darn thing, but till we found it he acted like an un-neutered male cat. I would take him in right away becuase some of the behaviours are hard to get rid of once they start (spraying mainly).
