My male cat is calling to mate. Should I get him a female or neuter?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Himalayan | Male | neutered | 1 year and 3 months old

He's calling to mate. What's the best way to introduce him to a stranger female cat 4 mating? Does the calling stops at one point?

Because Lazgah is not neutered, the only way to stop the calling for good is to have him neutered. I would not recommend bringing in a stranger cat to mate with him. Not only will it cause stress for your existing female who has a litter of kittens to look after, but you could be creating another litter of kittens with this mating, which is not responsible breeding unless you are planning to look after this female and her kittens as well. To stop him from calling, the best thing you can do is to have him neutered.
