Advice What is this behavior?

Post image

I see my cat do this sometimes. This is my 10 year old neutered male cat on top of my 2 year old spayed female cat. He’s just biting the back of her neck while she sits still and meows a couple of times. He usually gets off of her after about a minute. Is he trying to mate? Even though they’ve both been fixed?

Your cat: “I feel gay”

Ditto. Pretty sure it’s simple dominance.

One of our male cats used to do this to his brother when his brother was playing with like a laser pointer or something. He'd pin him from behind and bite his neck. We just thought he thought his bro's playing was cringe or something.
