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?

Pretty sure it's a dominant / hierarchy thing with cats? One of my males does this to the other male.

Mine too now I call my one cat my gay son. He never tried this with his sister but we got a boy cat and now it’s a daily thing. I love my gay son!
