Just because they are neutered doesnt mean they cannot or will not get
the urge to mate, it simply means that their matings cannot result in any kittens. The main benefits of neutering are that they are less likely to get into fights over territory ot females and also that they wont have undesirable habits lke spraying in the house. I cannot see anything to worry about, just male cats doing what is a natural instinct, be fair to him, he has had his "plums" removed, he still deserves the chance to have a bit of fun!
