Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 2005Post-fix behavior
I took Hana & Sachi to the vet on Tuesday morning to get fixed. Sachi came home at 5pm the same day. I brought Hana back this (Wednesday) evening. Sachi was initially acting fine, but then he got a little too friendly. He was obsessively licking Hana's genitalia -- Hana would start walking quickly away and Hana would just keep his nose stuck to her backside the whole time -- and then started showing mating behavior again by trying to grab a hold of her nape any way possible. I've had to separate the two once again to keep my sanity. So is this normal for Sachi to behave this way immediately after the two have been fixed? Perhaps it's going to take a little time for the effects of their hormones to completely disappear? Thanks in advance for any insight you may have. > I took Hana & Sachi to the vet on Tuesday morning to get fixed. Sachi > came home at 5pm the same day.

The licking might just be him grooming her to get the weird vet smells off of her. > So is this normal for Sachi to behave this way immediately after the > two have been fixed?

Congrats on doing the right thing for your kitties and being such a good parent. > I took Hana & Sachi to the vet on Tuesday morning to get fixed. Sachi > came home at 5pm the same day.

Yes, it'll take a while for his hormone levels to subside. My male cat's levels took 3? weeks to drop down - his pee stank for that length of time, post-neuter.

So does this mean that I'll have to keep them separate for a couple weeks until Sachi can stay in a room with Hana without pouncing all over her? >> Yes, it'll take a while for his hormone levels to subside.

Years ago (decades, really), I adopted a street tom and had him neutered. He remained an indoor/outdoor cat for a while and was still mounting the female street kitties a couple of weeks later. The vet said the ability and desire would persist for a bit, but mountings wouldn't be productive in terms of kittens.

Come to think of it, I knew a neutered male when I was a teen who was still quite the lady's man; he just never sired kittens. He was happy to go through the motions, though.

I did not have a problem but I imagine maybe Sachi is a little more macho than Grant was. > I took Hana & Sachi to the vet on Tuesday morning to get fixed. Sachi > came home at 5pm the same day.

Both my cats are fixed & once in a while Muscat will still try to mount Chablis... If he's successfull He then looks confused & non-plussed... "This is what I'm supposed to do, right?" So, is your NG name a B-5 refference? "No one listens to Zathras. Zathras have tragic life, probably have tragic death too, but, at least is symetrey."

And that's one of my favorite quotes. *click* *click* "Not the one!"
