My 16 mo. old not neutered yet male cat Little Bit is driving me nuts at night. My bed is by a window and chair on other side of it. He comes into room jumps on bed and walks on window sill, out other side jumps down and goes out room.
All the time making his chipping noises and then repeats this nonstop for at least an hour or two every night. Usually in middle of night.
Is this because he is not fixed yet and will this slow down or stop when he gets fixed.
Then my Baby Kitty is 1 yr old and marks everything with his Pee nonstop all day and night long. Drives my wife crazier than she already is.lol
Why are your cats still unneutered? Neutering will help stop all that behavior AND will ensure there are no "oops" if they happen to get out. Intact males especially are notorious for spraying/marking their territory, as well as fighting behaviors and other TOMcat activities.
At 1 yr old your 'baby kitty' is no longer a 'baby.' He's considered a full-fledged adult cat now. 6 months of age is the most-recommended time for spaying/neutering though some vets do it earlier.
All cats should be neutered/spayed unless you're a serious hobby breeder furthering a line. There is no reason to wait. Get both boys neutered STAT!
The behavior will stop although not usually overnight. The male hormones have to get out of their systems. And the behavior of walking th window sill may be ingrained enough - probably to see outside cats - that he won't fully stop that. Good luck!
Time to get those boys fixed! Problem is neutered males can spray as well...and it may have been become habit...which will be a hard one to break. If it hasn't happened already, one will try and start covering the other with his spray....so you'll have dual marking.
It can takes weeks, even months for the hormones to clear out of they system, so the sooner you get them fixed, the better.

Okay, they will become Steers after X-mas. I just don't want them to be in ANY pain ever. I know, I am a weenie. They are indoor cats and closely monitored when outside.
Baby Kitty is the name of my youngest cat. I want him to stay a baby but he comes to me when I call him Baby Kitty so it shall be his name.
I was hoping the peeing would stop but house we just bought has new carpet and it is hard to keep up with them.

Dude...they won't be in any pain! It's a very simple/easy surgery and they get pain meds afterwards. It's the kindest thing you can do for them, for your house, and to control cat population.
My female was jumping around within a few hrs after her spay surgery as if nothing had happened. And females go through a much more invasive procedure. Don't be a weeny!
Be sure not to de claw if they offer it along with a neuter.... in some cases the physical emotional/behavioral effects of de clawing are so bad your probably better off not ever neutering then having this done I've seen a few toms that actually are nicer then de claw cases. But these were purebreds.

All things aside NEUTER ASAP!!!!
THIS IS OFF TOPIC!
I've never known OR heard of any vet to offer declawing along with a neuter/spay. If you take you cat in get neutered/spayed, that's what you get!
