My male cat is acting like he's in heat. What's wrong and what to do?

Question

My 10 months male cat is in heat again. 3 months back he had the same problem and a neighborhood cat gave him company. But now I want a permanent solution. Are there any medicines to stop this procedure? Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 9 months and 14 days old | 15.432 lbs

Hello. Male cats do not go into heat. That term refers to the estrus cycle of a female cat. Male cats that are not neutered are always ready to mate. If his behavior changes, he may simply be responding to a female cat that is in heat . The only way to stop his mating behavior is to have him neutered surgically. It is a simple procedure that you can discuss with your veterinarian.
