I have 2 cats 1 male 1 female both are fixed. the male howls and bite the female neck is this normal play?

Answers:
I have found out that there is no 'normal' behavior when it comes to cats!

I have a male who is fixed who still goes through the motions, and I have a spayed 'alpha' female calico who will mount a neighbor's female who is in heat, including grabbing her neck!

The only thing you can expect from a cat is the unexpected!

You can take the balls off the cat but you cant... I dont where I am going. But hes probabaly just wanting to still go through the motions.

---

yes becayse it is the natural phenomena.My cat just bite each other too,you know!

---

This is very normal it is just a form of playing for them my cats do this all the time

---

Yes. Dont worry even if they are trying to mate nothing is gonna happen. Nothing to worry about

---

they maybe fixed but they know what they are supposed to do.which is reproduction..

---

yes thats normal all cats and dogs play like that they love to play rough its called play fight

---

oh sure they are adorables

---

maybe they didn't do such a good job on him...

---

It might be play, but you may want to train the male not to do that: I doubt the female is enjoying it. I have to watch a somewhat aggressive and rambunctious young male so he doesn't play too rough too.

---

I would think that it would be normal play, especially if she is doing it back. My parents dog rough houses and growls, but it is only in play. I wouldn't think that you'd have anything to worry about unless he really hurts her.

---

hmm, this is interesting. as long as there is no blood from the bites, i am to assume it's playful. unless he was getting into a shameful position (mating) then i dunno. but it happens sometimes.

yes.
