Tomcat problem - TMI alert

Our oldish cat (age unknown - 12? maybe) has been going a bit barmy since Christmas. Amongst other delights, he takes any opportunity to hump the DCs soft toys . He was neutered years ago for definite - we took him to the vets for the snip. Does, um, anything "come out" once they are neutered i.e. do I have to throw the toys away? (there are lots). I think he is a bit stressed and am trying some Feliway to resolve that. He gets outside a lot and there is lots of green space in the field at the end of the garden so he is not short of exercise.

Sorry, to put this on what I imagine is usually quite a fluffy, nice board but I am at a loss and it is only a matter of time before one of the DCs catches him "at it" and I am not really ready for a "birds and bees" convo with a 3 and 5 yo involving a masturbating tom!

is he showing any other signs of being out of character?

Tbh he has always been a bit loopy but very healthy otherwise. He is ex RSPCA but I think he was born in the shelter so not aware of any ill treatment. He has had some isshoos with a neighbouring cat but that tom has been living here as long as we have and so it's not a new situation. He has the annual vax and always gets a clean bill of health tho he is a greedy little blighter and is a bit overweight

Neutering for cats is castration, ie removing the testicles completely, so I don't think anything could ooze out!

he may just be trying to rid aggression on something convenient. Nothing will "escape" as there's nothing in him to escape iyswim?

OK that's great. My main concern was err, hygiene . I didn't know that about the testicles. As for the energetic humping, I suppose I will just have to tell them he is angry with the blue furry bunny

Anyway, thanks

I'd say randy tom cats are a step up from the things we normally talk about on here (poo is the topic of the week)
