i have 2 cats, both make. Ciel, is 3 years old and Alios is roughly 3/4 months old. Neither on is neutered, Alios simply because we haven’t had him very long and it’s been pretty hectic recently to schedule an appointment with the vet (but it will happen soon).
Ciel doesn’t spray, never has ever. I don’t know if this is normal behavior, I’ve read online about reasons why cats do spray and ways to stop them. He’s a mostly indoor cat but he does go outside during the winter (we live in Arizona so our winters aren’t very cold and he likes the winter weather). He’s a very sweet cat, the sweetest cat I’ve ever met. He’s very patient and gentle with kids and other male cats. He hates female cats though and we previously fostered a female kitten and he hated her and would attack her on a daily basis and yet he’s never sprayed still. We’ve fostered one other kitten besides her and it was a male cat from the same litter, Ciel for along well with him (not in the trying to mount him way). When we got Alios, he was not a foster kitten and we introduced him to Ciel quite fast because we didn’t have anywhere to separate them. About a week or two ago Alios started spray like crazy.
Ciel and Alios get along great, they don’t fight or hiss or scratch at each other and are actually quit attached to each other, they won’t eat without the other one, they sleep together and they do lots of things in sync and we don’t have any outside cats around us during the summer (most of the neighborhood cats are girls and Ciel fights with them all winter). Does anyone have any answers as to why my 3 year old male has never sprayed but my 3 month old male spray? We keep the cats stress free, get them toys all the time, there constantly eating, no other cats around really except for each other. (Also Alios is not allowed outside because he is a pure black kitten and black cats are twice as likely to be killed than other cats)
