In some rare cases, neutering doesn’t entirely cut out problematic behavior among male cats. This is more likely among cats neutered at a later age.

Two Male Cats Together. “Forcing” a pair of male cats to share the same roof isn’t always easy as pie, especially if the little guys aren’t neutered. Talk about major dominance issues, from one cat spraying to mark his turf to the other instigating some full-out physical attacks.
Can two male cats live in peace in one home?
I’ve had 2 male cats live in peace in the past. But one was willing to be submissive to the other. The 2 neutered males I have now are often in conflict.
