Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2005neutered male "humping" intact male kitten
I have a 3 yr. old male cat who is neutered and then 4 kittens from a pregnant stray someone dropped off. (momma cat's been spayed now). Buddy (the 3 yr old) has played and groomed one of the males since kitten was 2 months old (now 4 1/2 months), but lately has started humping him and holding on (gently) to his neck, just like mating! Has anyone heard of this? The kittens have had two appts. to get spayed & neutered, but eye infections keep stopping it. With 6 cats, it's hard to keep it from re-spreading. Do you think Buddy will stop once Chipper (the kitten) is neutered? And can he actually hurt Chipper? By the way, has anyone had kittens spray or come in heat before 6 months? I'm gonna try, but neutering 2 & spaying 2, plus final kitten shots is gonna kill me financially. Thanks for any help!!! > I have a 3 yr. old male cat who is neutered and then 4 kittens from a > pregnant stray someone dropped off. (momma cat's been spayed now).

Has anyone heard of > this? Yes, one of my cats, neutered at the shelter when he was 12 weeks old, tries to mount the other neutered male cat, pillows, people's legs, etc., and humps away. The other male cat, neutered at six months, jumps on the back of that male cat and the female cat and bites their neck to subdue them, but I think this is more of an attempt at dominance that at mating. Their vet said they might always act this way. The female cat is totally annoyed by both of them. . > The kittens have had two appts. to get spayed & neutered, but eye > infections keep stopping it.

Personally, I've found that even wiping infected eyes with a moist, clean cloth several times a day helps a lot. > Do you think Buddy will stop once Chipper (the kitten) is neutered? You never know, but perhaps not. > And can > he actually hurt Chipper? No. If he wanted to, he would have by now. > By the way, has anyone had kittens spray or come > in heat before 6 months? They can. > I'm gonna try, but neutering 2 & spaying 2, plus > final kitten shots is gonna kill me financially. It won't be as expensive as dealing with another litter. Ask your vet for a payment plan. Most will understand and accomodate. Good luck! > Thanks for any help!!! Thanks so much dd! We have gotten eye meds from vet, but just when we almost had them clear, drops ran out over the weekend. The two boys should be well enough to neuter next week. Then at least the two girls can't get pregnant, but I can get them spayed one at a time before they reach six months. I guess I'll just have to put up with Buddy's actions till hopefully Chipper starts taking up for himself.

Where are you? Here in Indiana, it's $35.00 neuter, $60.00 spay and $33.00 for last set of kitten shots & rabies. And I thought THAT was bad! That's a crime, most people who would take in more pets, wouldn't be able to afford it there. > > here in texas, we have many groups that will do low cost spay/neuter for > > almost nothing - free. i had my 3 kats fixed, with 1st year shots, for 25$ a [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > etc. (and the shots aren't cheap either) its about the same. im in satx now, and the prices for low cost places are about the same. the pain meds are a must, and are only an extra 10$ or so. since i wont have to spay/neuter again, im only paying for annual checkups, which are 40 a kat, and that includes any shots they might need. some people are skeptical to go to low cost places, but hey, all my kats are fine :) -agent smith SignatureBe sure to check out http://home.satx.rr.com/satxcichlids for information on my fishies! also, sign up for a *FREE* ipod here: http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=9570045 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/daewootech/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/daewoolanos/ http://www.geocities.com/daewoolanoshatchback/ contact info: agentsmith@UNDIES.the-c0re.tk agentsmith2011@UNDIES.punkass.com remove UNDIES to reply :D > its about the same. im in satx now, and the prices for low cost places are > about the same. the pain meds are a must, and are only an extra 10$ or so. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > -agent smith Do you all have to pay for a vet visit as well as the cost of whatever they are in for? What I mean is, if I bring my cat(s) to the vet, I pay an initial fee of $35.00 (Canadian), plus the cost of their shots, spay/neuter, medication and so on. For me to spay my cat Swiffer, it is going to cost me over $300.00 Canadian. When I had Pookey neutered, it cost me just under $300.00 Canadian. Thank goodness I am a vet assistant, and I get a discount, or I would never be able to afford the costs. The discount helps when it comes to their food as well, but even with it, an 8 killogram bag costs me $43.00. Yes, my old vet charges 29.00 for just the appt. then extra for what they need. I had been his office since we had pets as kids, but changed to a vet farther away, but much more reasonable. The old vet has raised prices on everything two or three time in last year & tons of people are leaving. How does Canadian money compare to U.S? Like $300.00 Canadian is what? By the way, as a major animal lover, my thanks for giving a loving home to more than one pet when it costs that kind of money - Happy New Year! > > its about the same. im in satx now, and the prices for low cost places are > > about the same. the pain meds are a must, and are only an extra 10$ or so. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > costs. The discount helps when it comes to their food as well, but even > with it, an 8 killogram bag costs me $43.00. Because you asked, $300.00 Canadian equals $250.00 US and $130.00 UK. I don't know what it is you all pay for your animals to be fixed, but, when you have more than one animal that requires such operations, it can get costly. Still, I wouldn't/couldn't live without either one of them. As a matter of fact, my husband and I are going to the shelter this next week to look at another cat. We hope to get a cat 6 months or younger, so that the new guy/gal will be more readily accepted. Besides, it seems that our shelter has an over abundance of cats/kittens in that age range. We might even take our two with us to see if they themselves can pick out their new housemate. I have heard that cats will gravitate to one particular animal and have no problems when it comes time to bring the new furbaby home. My luck they will both chose different ones, which means that I will probably wind up bringing home two more instead of just the one that I am hoping to bring home.

That's pretty expensive - in central London (not a cheap place!) it cost me ?90 all in to get my two cat cubs neutered last summer, including some bland food to feed them afterwards. Amanda |
