Gilbert and Freda are nearly a year old. We got them both neutered at 5 months. We've noticed that Gilbert often chases Freda, then grabs her by the neck from behind. She doesnt react at all. When he is chasing her other at other times she'll often turn round and chase him back, so the grabbing her neck isnt every time.
I had a look online and it seems this could be sexual aggression which can happen even if they are neutered.
While she doesn't seem to bother with it, it can't be nice surely? And despite being siblings he is almost double her size.
Ive came across a couple of websites that recommend boar mate or hog mate and it basically makes the female cat smell male.
Has anyone heard of this, or used it? I don't even know if its available in the uk.
Or does anyone have any suggestions on how we stop this behaviour?
Just for info, this only happens once or twice a week and we split them when we see it happening.
