Mounting Problem
Hello All,
I have an orange tabby named Marmalade, he is 5 years old and neutered, we got him from the shelter about 4 years ago. All of our female and male cats are neutered/spayed. Ever since we moved, Marmalade keeps walking around meowing at all hours of the day and night. He has now taken to mounting our 4 year old Siamese Suki, she allows it. Any reason why he would do this? Jenn |

Is it possible, since he was a shelter cat, that they were wrong? Is it possible he has undescended testicles? Have the vet check his little private parts for penile spines. If present, he has one or both testicles still, possibly undescended and missed during neutering. Other than that, I've no clue. -- -- ~kaeli~ Dancing cheek-to-cheek is really a form of floor play. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

My beautiful but idiotic Benjamin (neutered male) who is not alpha cat but sometimes thinks he is, tried to mount his sister the other day. She *is* the alpha cat and told him so without much room for argument. I added my own two cents worth as well. Benjamin looked confused but his attention was soon diverted. ADD, too! He's a beautiful boy, but total fluff between the ears. :-) I think the phrase "ever since we moved" is key to the mystery of the yowling and unusual behavior. Cats can attach more to places than even to people. Sounds like he might be needing some extra reassurance now you all are in your new home. When my cats yowl, I answer them, and they eventually wander in to wherever I am. Often they'll have a toy in their mouths, which I then praise them for bringing me. Pseudo-prey? Pseudo-kitten? Who knows, but I tell them they're a good boy/girl, and they calm down. Priscilla |

I wonder if I should get him checked for undescended testicles. We got him from the Humane Society, would they make mistakes like that? Anyone ever have that happen? Today he's been talking away haha, been following me around and meowing. His thing is with the sisal scratching post, he always goes there and "barks"-I call it barks because it sounds like it LOL.
