Hello, sorry to hear about Cookie. If she is spayed, then I would be concerned that she may have a remnant ovarian tissue that needs to be completely removed. The remnant ovary may be continuing to produce sex hormones which is then causing her behavior. Alternatively, this could be a learned behavior that you will need to modify by deferring his behavior to doing something else. I would discuss with your primary care veterinarian about checking hormones via a blood sample to confirm that she does not have remnant ovarian tissue. Cookie may also need an abdominal ultrasound to check for this. Hope this helps and best of luck.
