Hi everyone!
My partner and I adopted a male kitten at 7 weeks back in May. He's almost 10 months old now, neutered, and seemingly has sexual aggression towards my adult (5 years) female cat.
Anytime my poor female cat even moves, he goes up behind her, mounts her, and bites her neck. She understandably screams, hisses, and tries her best to get away. Sometimes the male will chase her to try again, sometimes he will give up that round.
After some research and ruling out that it's sexual aggression, I purchased the Hog Mate boar spray that has been mentioned and recommended many times in articles. The first time I sprayed in on the female's rear, the male definitely seemed confused and backed off the entire evening. Day 2, he was back at it and has been ever since despite spraying the female's rear almost every day. It doesn't seem to affect him in the slightest.
What are my next steps? Is there anything else I can try? Hoping to solve this on my own before bringing in the vet.
Thank you in advance!
