Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Male cats do not go in to heat. They can breed at any time. If you put him with female cats and they did not mate then that means the females were not in heat. The female needs to be in heat in order to allow the male to breed. If you do not want to breed Oreo then it is best to neuter him. I hope this answers your question. I wish you the best!
