Cat Question
2/21/2012 2:17:43 PM
Last night i was laying in bed with the 2 cats curled up at the foot of the bed and i can feel the cats moving around a fair amount. So i flip on the light and look and here my neutered male is humping my spayed female. Is this normal?

I think it can happen. I've heard that the meat in cat food can have some hormones in it.
I have two 4-year old neutered males, one is in my avatar, and haven't seen them do that myself. However, about a year ago, when I picked them up after boarding them while I was out of town, the owner of the cat boarding place told me he saw my tabby on top of my other black/white male, biting him on the scuff of the neck like a tom does to a queen, and the black/white one was playing submissive.
He asked me if I had ever witnessed anything like that before, which I hadn't. I've boarded them at the same place several times since, and haven't heard anything like this since then.
ETA: the black/white cat is bigger than the tabby, and up to that point, I had thought he was the dominant one.

Yeah, it happens. Primal urges and all that.
I guess the they keep the software even when they lose the hardware.

We have cats and ferrets. In ferrets, this aggressive male behavior including humping females is a sign of possible adrenal disease. Never had a cat with adrenal disease... but if it was my cat I'd at least make a call to the vet.
