What can you do to get rid of male cat's anal odor?

Male cats have anal glands that can get clogged, especially if the cat has not been neutered. A Vet can "express" the clog, which will make the cat less odoriferous (smelly). However, you should get the cat neutered, because the smell will lessen and likely not occur again. It can reoccur in an unfixed male cat.Note: Same is true for male dogs.

Neutering male cats Every unfixed female will pop out kittens One unfixed male can service a huge area Strictly from a population control view does neutering a male do much?

Strictly from a population standpoint it still makes a difference. Most cats maintain a territory, they can overlap but they will defend the area they live in. If a male is defending a territory and is unfixed he will try to impregnate every available female. If he is fixed he will still run off other males but be unable to mate.

If you have a fixed female and an unfixed male why does the male mount the female?

It is because your male cat is still entire. As far as he is concerned, it is natural for him to try and mate with the nearest female cat, regardless that she is spayed already. You may want to neuter him, as letting him attempt to mate repeatedly is stressful for both cats. Now, if both cats were already neutered, this would likely be a dominance behaviour, or possibly a sexual one as sometimes a male cat will retain his urges to mate. Animals that live with each other will sometimes jockey for position in the "pack" and this is one way of showing that the cat doing the mounting thinks he is above the other cat in the pecking order.
