well hello
thank you for reading... please tell me what you think...

my husband and i just took our 2 kittens to get spayed/neutered. it was sooo sad! i felt so bad taking them and leaving them and then seeing them all drugged up.

anyway...

we don't have much extra money these days so i was waiting to get them fixed until i knew we could afford it. well kramer starts mounting penny and biting her neck and getting aggressive... so i decide that's it... they're going as soon as possible. the vet determines penny is 17 weeks and kramer is 8 months... just as i had thought.

well the first thing kramer does when he gets out of the carrier is mount penny. he got really violent with her a little later... he pinned her down, mounted her, proceeded to bite her neck and chase her down the hallway when she ran. i had to get him off of her. they were under the bed (her hiding place) and he was on top of her biting and scratching. sometimes it almost seemed like he was trying to go for her stiches!!!

so i've been reading and i had never heard that you should get your male cat's neutered before they reach sexual maturity... DID I MAKE A MISTAKE??? because i didn't get him done sooner is he going to be mounting penny for the rest of their lives? he was probably sexually mature if he was 8 months... correct? will he forget that he used to like doing that? because... it's not really pleasurable for him is it? my sister said he's just showing that he's the boss. my mom said he just doesn't know what's going on yeat and he's confused....

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

by the way... penny was a VERY wild kitten. they both came from a lady who found several litters in her woods. kramer is the most lovey cat i've ever known... but penny didn't like people. well, she's laying with us now and purring and loves it when we pet her. i think the operation was good for her. could it be true that the operation calmed her down?

Hello there

I also have a brother and sister combo--although they are the same age. I've noticed that Iggy does sort of "mount" his sister and bit the back of her neck quite often. Pinky just lies down and acts submissive. I believe it's a dominance behavior only. It may seem worse for you becuase his sister is much younger and smaller than he is.
