2 brothers

[maloos]

Hello, I take of 7 feral cats. 3 males and 4 females.

2 of the males are 1.5 years old and they've grown together but now they gaze at each other making weird noises exactly the ones which a big fight gonna come after, but there's no fight. (yet!?) I've had feral males before but they went away and never came back. But these two have never left us. Sometimes they go for a day or two, but they've always come back.

I've started spaying females. Spayed one and in the next 2 weeks we'll do the next. Since my priority is females, I can't go for males for now. Is there anything I can do for these males before they get neutered?

Thanks.

Not much you can do if neutering can't happen yet. Tomcats fight over territory; it's just what they do. And they're at the age when social maturity occurs. They'll probably take a break over winter (hormone levels drop in winter) but if they aren't neutered by spring one will most likely be chased off. But, yeah, females need to be the priority, sorry boys! But I'd make sure one of them is first up after the girls.
