My 7-year-old cat has a stuffed animal fetish. I don't mean that he enjoys playing or cuddling with stuffed animals; I mean that he has full-blown sexual relationships with them. It started with an innocent fling with a crochet Afghan, and has now evolved into daily 'activities' with stuffed bunnies and tigers. I'll often return home to see him run out of the bedroom and hide (in shame?). He was neutered when he was 6 months old, so I can't imagine how he keeps such an active sex drive (unless he's obtaining some sort of kitty Viagra that I'm unaware of).
Note: While I've presented this question in a somewhat goofy manor (that's my coping mechanism, thanks), I'm quite serious. Should I be concerned here?

Take your cat to the vet to rule out any physical cause.
Mist your plushies with orange spray or other cat deterrent.
Or remove the source of temptation by putting your stuffed animals where the cat can't reach them.

Geez, ARE you serious? Have to say, never heard of any cat that much into sex, even unneutered ones!
All the same, sounds like a bummer, but unlikely to be a problem to his health!
The only question I'd be asking is - DEFINITELY neutered right? Like, you did personally take him to the surgery? Oh, and if he's an indoor kitty, sounds like he needs to be allowed out to work off some of that extra energy! He won't roam if he's neutered.
