I have a concern about my 2 year old gray tabby, Buddy.
He is neutered and has been for a while. We adopted him after he magically appeared at our doorstep and not going away (That tends to happen to us alot.), but anyway after we moved in november and brought all 3 of our cats with us (Little One, Baby, and Buddy).
About 3 or 4 months ago we welcomed another cat (actually kitten about 5-7 months old) She was our neighboors kitten, but we fed her on the side because it didn't look like they gave her much attention, they would just leave her outside days at a time.
So anyway Buddy was great friends with her, as he is a very social cat. But one day this little kitten, Julie, was in heat and there were several toms around our house, apprently sensing her. She never showed any signs of heat and we would often catch her with a tom on top of her, but she would be yowling as if in fear, like she didn't like it. We tried to chase off the toms often.
But anyway, one day while I was outside monitering Julie while she was outside (she had to use the bathroom), there were at lest three toms around us and watching Julie's every move. Buddy was out there also, just sitting around. Then, in front of the toms, Buddy jumped on top of Julie, as if he was trying to mate with her. I was shocked because he had been neutered for a while and this happened twice this day, so I was thinking since he did it in front of the toms, was he showing that Julie was hers and protecting her from the toms? Or is is possible they could have missed something when he was neutered?
Also what I have noticed is that he has very big testicles, rather larger than my other two neutered males. And also he is very vocal when he walks into a room. Another thing is he gets really violent sometimes when you pet him. But other times he's loveable and really sweet. My parents joke that he is "bipolar" and just has a little wild in him, as that's the best bet where he was born. Any ideas?
