wouldnt worry about it karen, dominance in the animal world is often a good thing and lets everyone else know where they fit in the world.

awwww, they are so cute together!!! :Luv: Notice that possessive arm over his girly? that is, 'I am in control'. Dominance is expressed quite subtly at times, does not have to degenerate into fighting, it is more a process of bluff in many cases. In his case he is using his body as a means of 'dominating' his sister, that is all. Just showing that he is the man about the house. Nothing harmful about it, just normal behaviour. I bet there is one human in your house who generally has the last word also (not always, just generally) ... same thing.

Never have I seen them fight fight, they play fight quite a bit but nothing more, they're very cuddly with each other. Actually I just took this of the 2 of them about an hour ago. . .

dominating is just about seeing who is higher on the pecking order. I wouldn't interfere unless one cat is beating up on another badly ...

Have to say, my Sam, who is about 10 yrs old now (and neutered at 6 mths or so) still mounts Lucy from time to time! Lucy doesnt seem that bothered apart from a 'oh here we go again' look on her face LOL!  :evillaugh:

 :rofl: That was the same look my Daisy gave.

Why would he be doing the dominating thing though? And is it something I should do something about?

I do believe it's a dominance thing also!  ;)

My Eldest, Bear, Does this with Teddies  :rofl:
I did ask my vet about it as i though he shouldnt get "the urge" and my vet said it was a dominance thing rather than a sexual

Is there any chance it is a dominance behaviour. Neutered dogs still do it at times but this is because they are asserting dominance ...

Yeah they were all done on the same day. She had just woke up and didn't seem one bit interested!

I'd just monitor it and for time being put it down to time of year.

the hormones should be more or less out of his system karen but they are still young & its getting towards spring which can make them abit doo lally.   I 'd be more concerned that its daisy who is giving off pheramones that she shouldnt, was she neutered at same time ?

Neutered cats

Should male cats that have been neutered still have those kinda urges? Lol, this is a bit embarrassing, not quite sure how to word it. But for the 3rd time in 2 days I've caught Belle in a, shall we say, compromising position with Daisy. I thought once they'd been neutered that was the end of all that, I'm probably wrong but thought I'd check cos I'm starting to worry something wasn't done properly. I've never seen anything like this with the other 2 boys. It's been 4 months now since he was neutered.
