Many people choose to sterilize the cat when raising cats. Generally, cats after sterilization are more stable and will not have estrus periods. But why do some male cats still ride female cats when they are sterilized? Regarding the reasons why male cats are sterilized and still ride female cats, there are actually three main points. Let’s take a look at why male cats are sterilized and still ride female cats.

1. The sex hormones in the body have not completely subsided. After sterilization of male cats, some male hormones may remain in their bodies, causing them to ride across the female cat. This is a normal phenomenon and generally gradually subsides within six weeks. If you are not at ease, you can also check the hormone level in the cat after sterilizing the male cat. If the cat has high androgen hormones, you can take some drugs to regulate hormone levels, which can prevent the cat from estrus.

2. Cryptchidic

If the male cat has been sterilized for a long time, the barbs on the Dingtin have not changed at all and the female cat has been in estrus, it may be the hormone problem caused by cryptorchidic. Simply put, the balls are not in the scrotum, but are hidden in the abdomen or inguinal canal. The owner needs to take the cat to the pet hospital to use B-ultrasound or X-ray to confirm whether cryptorchidism exists. If necessary, surgery should be performed again.

3. Behavioral habits

If a male cat has this behavior before sterilization, the memory of this behavior will be retained after sterilization. This behavior is generally difficult to correct, but the female cat will not become pregnant because of this. If the owner wants to reduce the behavior of the male cat after sterilization, he can only sterilize before the male cat has learned this action or has not been in estrus.
