Ever since he got neutered, my cat tries to mate with a cat plushie and has been meowing a lot. Is this due to changes in his hormone levels? Do you think they'll go away if we adopt another cat?
Well, this seems to be a normal conversation, so there is nothing to worry about.
This is one of the negative effects of neutering. You may see some other as well,
Neutering – The Negative Side
Neutering is sterilization.
Neutering will result in the sterilization of your cat. He will no longer be able to reproduce, so if you intend to breed your animal, do not have him neutered.
Neutering changes his appearance.
Your cat will look different because his testicles will no longer be present. If the absence of these organs is a cosmetic problem for you, discuss testicular implants with your veterinarian.
Neutering may cause weight gain.
Some cats gain weight after neutering. Intact animals typically have a strong mating desire and can expend a lot of energy seeking a mate and reproducing. Without this energy burden, your cat may eat the same amount but not burn off as many calories.
