As some of your know, I adopted a 3 year old male cat from the shelter recently. He was neutered about 3 months ago and still humps stuffed animal. I observed that his penis was erect while doing so. Neutered animals generally still humps, but shouldn't they be unable to maintain an erect penis?
He is also meowing constantly to go outside today (new behavior). I suppose he was probably an indoor/outdoor cat before getting caught and neutered by the shelter people, and this time of the year he's probably in heat (can a neutered cat be in heat?), and wants to go out and find some girls.
I want to keep him indoor at all times. Anything I can do?
Note: to see whether his behavior was sexually motivated, I played a video of female cat in heat. He got so excited that he stood on his hinge legs and lifted his body up from the floor to watch the video, eventually jumping onto the table to investigate. He rubbed at the screen and looked behind the monitor, and was dismayed that she wasn't there!
