Blackie is neutered.
You might recall that he used to groom Sparky and Sparky would try to nurse from him. That hasn't happened in a while, so I guess it stopped naturally, but it was cute and I kind of miss it.
Fred is not neutered. Every now and then I catch him on top of Blackie. Blackie does NOT appreciate this. I usually separate them, and I tell Fred that he can't have kittens w/Blackie because they are both boys. The only other time I have seen this kind of behavior this consistently was when someone I knew had a breeding pair of Persians (the tom would never leave the poor queen alone, every time she sat still he was on her).
So I'm wondering, is Fred confused because Blackie, being fixed, doesn't smell like a male cat?
