cat conflict........sort ofhi there everybody, i am new to this site, my name is liss and i need some help or advice, right here is my problem........ i started of with one in-tact male persian that i rescued....all well, then the rescue rang me 3 weeks later and asked if i would like to take another 2 persians , i agreed, the girl is 2 years old nearly again in-tact, then also a kitten that is a male, but too young to be neuted as yet, so thats now 3 persian, hope your following, lol,first few days all brilliant, then the girl came into call, so the eldest boy started screamimg to get to her, we rang the vets and explained as avove and was told to get the male cat away from the house , until we could get him done, so 5 days since he had the op, as soon as he came back into the house he started again, not really showing interest in the female but more so to the male kitten, he is going mad to mate with him, he is doing our heads in, can anybody give me some advice as what to do please.

Can you not move him out again? It takes a while for the hormones to settle down. I wiuld give it at least 3 weeks. The only other thing you can do is keep them in separate rooms. Can you not get tge female spayed? |

Separation and spaying are the practical solution. Good luck.. |

Just wondering why didnt the rescue she came from spay her before you took her-as they knew you had an un-neutered male? Having got her why did YOU not get her spayed? Also wonder why your vet didnt advise you to get the female spayed when you rang about the male screaming? Not critcising-just wondering why you didnt see this coming Agree with previous posts-separate the neutered male from the other 2 Get the female spayed A.S.A.P Get the male kitten neutered as soon as the vet says its O.K to do Make sure,as well that the female doesnt get out,as she could easily get pregnant,adding to the perpetual problem of unwanted kittens and cats,filling rescues. Having taken them on you have a duty to do what s best for them Again Im not wanting to criticise-just trying to offer advice as you asked. Wish you all well Maureen |

It is highly unlikely that the behavioural effects of castration will make themselves felt for several weeks, possibly months. So your male cat will probably still display normal male behaviours for a while, & even just being in the same house as an in-season female cat, is likely to arouse his mating desires ~ &, as you've found out, he can then transfer the same behaviours to the young male cat. You need to keep them separate until all the hormones have settled down. But even then, if the male cat was neutered fairly late in life, the neural pathways associated with male behaviours & male hormones (androgens) will be sensitised & more likely to be activated, even after castration. With the female, obviously you need to get her spayed asap ~ but I think it can only be done at a certain length of time after her last season. You can't just spay them at any point during their cycle. But please check with your vet & get her booked in for the op as soon as your vet says it's ok. Similarly the male kitten will need to be neutered as soon as he's old enough. I must admit I'm also very surprised that the rescue allowed you to rehome uneutered cats too! |
