Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2005Neutered male mounting kitten in heat
Hi everyone, I would really appreciate your advice on the following. My barely four-month old kitten is in her first heat cycle. (She has not yet been spayed, because I wanted the first cycle to come & go.) Now, my neutered male (1 1/2 years old) is displaying sexual behaviour - mounting her whenever he gets a chance. 1. My female kitten can't get pregnant, can she? (Male cat was neutered four months ago.) 2. I suppose I ought to discourage this mounting/sexual behaviour? (Please confirm and/or give me your thoughts.) Many thanks. Of course, I will have my "Queenie" spayed ASAP - preferably once cycle is over (I hope it doesn't last three weeks!) mounting isn't always a sexual response. It can be a dominance issue as well. a "ha ha, Im the alpha cat" kind of thing. I tend to discourage it. You might want to contact your vet and see if they can neuter while she is in heat. Most vets will. Its dogs that cause an issue when they are in heat. > Hi everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Of course, I will have my "Queenie" spayed ASAP - preferably once cycle is > over (I hope it doesn't last three weeks!) : Hi everyone, : [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] : 1.

No, let them sort out things by their natural behaviour - they know rightly how to do things. : Many thanks. : Of course, I will have my "Queenie" spayed ASAP - preferably once cycle is : over (I hope it doesn't last three weeks!) Good luck! carola Spaying a cat while in heat will cost you more money and make recovery time last longer, as well. I think your vet will tell you this when you ask them. It's best to wait out her cycle, only for the above mentioned facts. If she's an exclusively indoor kitty, then you have nothing to worry about in the pregnancy department. Just make sure she doesn't escape! Give your kitties little pets for me! > Hi everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > male (1 1/2 years old) is displaying sexual behaviour - mounting her whenever > he gets a chance. We were having trouble with our neutered male mounting our spayed female...turned out that the vet hadn't done a complete job on him. Also had that happen with another male cat, although we were told that it's unusual. You may want to take your male kitty into the vet and have him checked out, just to be sure. *s* Thanks for the advice, but I hope you're wrong... Another weird thing is that I thought my female kitty would be in haet for a couple of weeks and now a few days later, she seems to have gotten over the cycle. Can this be??? >> Hi everyone, >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >*s* This is not unusual and don't be concerned about it. I once had a small neutered poodle that would often try to mount the cats. > Hi everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Of course, I will have my "Queenie" spayed ASAP - preferably once cycle is > over (I hope it doesn't last three weeks!) |
