Hi Jenny, is Max your stud boy?? If so I know that studs can be 'dirty' but I'm wondering if he has just started this behaviour whether it's a stress sort of thing. Is he having enough girls to keep him happy for example??

Ive never heard of such behaviour could it be that he is stressed in some way? How old is he? you could try if he continues to do this placing the bowl ona clip attached to a side so that the bowl is slightly in the air so it would be more difficult for him to do anything in there. You know how you see bowls attached on cat carriers.

I have worked out why he has done this he was showing off to his girl friend just to show his masculinity.

Glad you have got to the root of the problem Jenny! These hormones do make them do the strangest things at times
