Hi, sometimes it takes a while for the hormone levels to drop once your pet has been spayed, so they may still have a bit of interest for a month or two.  We have 4 cats - two boys and two girls - who are all spayed/neutered and they have no interest in mating now.  Occasionally, though, one of our boys will do the "mounting" motions on another cat's back, but this is more a show of dominance than a sexual instinct.  He's just making sure everyone knows he's the boss.

Thanks for answering!  We have a Male cat that's been neutered for more than 10 years now, and for the past few days we've noticed a Female cat coming around meowing her head off, like she want's him to come out!  We are pretty sure she is in heat.  So it got us to wondering.. does our Male want to be with her?    We appreciate your knowledge!

Fool me once,

shame on you!!

Fool me twice,shame on me!

i have 16 cats...and they are all neutered!!but some of them now and then still want to mate,and it isn't to show dominance either.i think it's just instinct and when they hear other cats mating,it just brings out their instinct..mine have been neutered for 8 years!
