Hello everyone! I'm new to this site and a need some help.
We have four 10-month-old kittens. Three are ginger males (Jeremy, Zach and Mikey), and one is a tortoiseshell female (Smudge). All four were neutered when they were 6 months old and everything went well.
However, i did notice that while Jeremy and Zach's scrotums were slowly disappearing, Mikey's was not. I couldn't feel anything 'in there'. And i thought that there was 0% chance that the vet could've forgotten Mikey (seeing as there were three gingers) or not done it properly. So i left him be.
Today, i saw Mikey pinning Smudge down and holding her hard on the neck! Smudge growled, swiped at him, and managed to get away. I also noticed Mikey walking up to Smudge and rolling over in front of her.
This isnt urgent seeing as Smudge is spayed so nothing could happen 'in that way'. But why was Mikey trying to mate with her? Could this mean that he's not castrated properly?
Mikey's a lovely cat. He love attention and is very affectionate. I just don't understand why he suddenly did that to Smudge today.
Thanks in advance!
