I recently mentioned my cats in this post.
I was abruptly woken up at 3am by what sounded like the cats fighting, but when I turned on the light and walked outside, it looked a bit like what could be a mating ritual? Taby was sort of on top of her and biting her neck and just would NOT let go when I clapped or made loud noises, since this usually works when they're playing sort of becomes a fight. I had to scare them with water, lol. I didn't know what I was seeing, but I kinda figured it out.
Taby is neutered! But reading this article I see that doesn't really mean anything...
That article worries me though! Talks about that behaviour between a fixed male and fixed female. Fiona has NOT yet been spayed, I know she's old enough to get pregnant now. Is this why Taby was 'attracted'? Would it not happen again after she's been spayed? 'Cause I'm making an appointment asap.
This is kinda funny
EDIT: I found this other article, saying that it might not be sexual but he's just trying to show her who's boss? He's been kind of aggravated by her the last few days, when I lock him in at night and he has to put up with her constant desire to play. He sort of growls when she gets near. But they were alright last night... This other article worries me too, I hope he doesn't start this behavior.
