Thread: Baby boys getting neutered on Thurday :(

Glad to hear things sounds better. I think you may find as they get older that their play becomes more aggressive. Our males are one and two now, so the older one was a year older when we got the second one at around 12 weeks. We got the second male mainly because the older male had gotten bigger than our female that he played with as a kitten and she no longer was willing to play with him. The bigger male let the smaller guy do pretty much anything to him for a long time, but as the younger one got older and much larger, their play changed. They got so they didn't wrestle nearly as much; it looked like they were trying to figure out how to still do this given that they were nearly the same sizes--and large sizes at that. They clearly sometimes got mad at one another when playing, when one went too far for the other--which often did happen. This seems to be improving recently in that they appear to be more controlled in their play, but there were times over the last several months where we have intervened to reduce the aggressiveness of the interactions (we have also tried to keep their nails trimmed to reduce the possibility of one injuring the other).
