Madden was just neutered last week (at almost six months) and I was wondering if it might help with him getting over stimulated?? I thought I read somewhere that unneuterd males were more likely to become over stimulated, so I am curious.
He's always gotten over stimulated since we got him when he was eight weeks old. I don't think he was ever handled very much, he's always loved attention but then the tail twitching starts and if your not paying attention your bit!!
I've made quite a lot of progress with him by stopping long before he gets to that point and only petting him when he asks me to (no matter how hard it may be to resist at times!). Now it takes him much longer to get overstimulated, but some days we're back to square one. I love him the same either way, I just wondered if, given a month or so for the hormones to fully leave his system, the overstimulation might lessen?
If anyone else has a cat prone to overstimulation, I would love to hear your stories!
Thanks in advance for any input!
