Are both males neutered? If not, get them done.

Not all mounting is sexual - many times its a dominance thing. Who's on top?

BTW only FEMALES come into heat - not males

You can have your cat neutered as early as 8 weeks...depending on the vet. Belong is a link to low cost clinics in New Jersey:

I would get them fixed now.

Some vets will neuter early but most all will neuter at 4 months onward. Its certainly a dominance thing going on if both cats are males. They are trying to create a hiearchy and it might continue even after they are neutered. My females do this as well.

You can't really look at it the same way as humans. A cat that humps another male is doing it to show dominance over the other male. It is not because he prefers him, because most likely if there were a female he would not hesitate to go after her. A male might also show sexual frustration if without females. If it is sexual frustration this will be fixed with neutering the cat.

I had a neutered male that humped my stuffed animals. Cats, males in particular, are just wierd like that and when the testosterone builds up enough they want to do something about it. Over time it subsided.
