Mounting Problem

Jenn - 27 Apr 2004 23:34 GMT Hello All, I have an orange tabby named Marmalade, he is 5 years old and neutered, we got him from the shelter about 4 years ago. All of our female and male cats are neutered/spayed. Ever since we moved, Marmalade keeps walking around meowing at all hours of the day and night. He has now taken to mounting our 4 year old Siamese Suki, she allows it. Any reason why he would do this?

Any reason why he would do this? Dominance. He's establishing himself in his new territory.

Cheryl - 29 Apr 2004 03:55 GMT > http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=geekwench&AID=369785 Oh what a humiliated look on the orange tabby boy. lol Shadow exerts his dominance now and then (less and less these days though, even though he's such a wuss at being chased) and he will try to bite the back of the neck of either one if he's in that mood. But with Shadow, I really do think there is an arousal factor involved.

That's one pissed of cat . Maybe Jacob's a gay cat. BG Does Jacob just pin Oscar down or does he go through the motions ? Alison

It's like he's saying, "okay, you my daddy. You proved it. You da man. Are you done yet?"
As far as the pinning down/going through the motions, sometimes he just lies on top of Oscar (he's actually half Oscar's size; in that picture he looks big, but if you look, you can see that his paws barely reach the couch- it usually looks like he's riding a horse). Other times, however, Jacob does, indeed, um...spasm. It's gross and I make him stop when I see him doing it. Lying on top of Oscar biting his neck is one thing; boffing the middle of Oscar's back is another. <G>
This picture is usually the precursor to the hop-on-Oscar thing: http://www.dotphoto.com/GuestViewImage.asp?AID=369785&IID=12665988
Oh, and Jacob has only ever mounted other males, so yes, sometimes I refer to him as my little gay kitty. :-) Really, though, I think it's just that he's convinced he has hormones that are long gone and wants to show his competition who's boss.

And the towel/clothing mounting is also pretty common. I'm not sure if it's better or worse than the cat mounting another cat, personally. ;-)

Makes me wonder what cats think about human autoeroticism if it is practiced in their home. :') I mean, really.

Wicked funny.
RobZip - 28 Apr 2004 01:12 GMT I had a similar issue with a neuterd tom several years ago. The vet suggested it was a trip down memory lane. It usually happened when there were females in season in the area. He was an indoor cat but no doubt picked up traces of scent from the females nearby.

That's one helluva long memory. ;-)

Cats have natural instincts neutered or not. Ask any guy with a vasectomy if they still get aroused.....C'mon Jenn you knew this ....didn't ya.?
