tomcat

Unneutered male kitty

A tomcat is an adult male cat, especially one that roams and hasn't been neutered.

The word emphasizes the animal's wandering, territorial, and mating behaviors.

By extension, a man who tomcats around pursues casual sexual encounters: He spent his twenties tomcatting through Europe.
