The cat is put under a general anesthetic and the fur around the scrotum removed, then the skin is disinfected prior to surgery. A small incision is made in the scrotum, the testicles are removed and the associated cords tied. The procedure may not even result in the cat requiring stitches as the incision is so small, and recovery time is minimal- cats can be allowed to go home on the same day.

After bloodwork to ensure the cat is healthy enough to undergo surgery, the patient is given anesthesia. A tracheal tube is place in the windpipe to deliver oxygen & anesthesia. After the surgical site is made sterile, the surgeon makes an incision along the midline of the abdomen. Through this incision, the ovaries & the uterus are extracted after having their blood supplies being tied off. The abdomen is sutured shut, and the patient woken up from their sleep. With good pain medications on board, healing should take 10-14 days.

Spaying a cat involves putting the cat under general anesthesia and performing surgery to remove the ovaries, oviducts and uterus. This prevents her from having a heat cycle as well as preventing any kittens.

The cat is sedated, the lower belly is cleaned and cut open,. The uterus and ovaries are tied off and removed. The belly is sewn back together and the cat is allowed to wake from sedation.

Can a female cat die from going into estrus after being spayed?

Estrus is the time in a female cats reproductive cycle which the female cat is receptive to the male cat. According to the question posted the cat had been spayed. If the cat has really been spayed it cannot come into estrus. If it has not actually been spayed and you just think it has, then it could come into estrus, but this is not dangerous (except she may get pregnant). Either way she will not die, or at least not of that!

How do you tell the sex of your cat?

The male cat (every animal) has testicles, unless they are neutered. A neutered male cat will not have visible testicles, but there will be a noticeable space between its anus and penis. A spayed female cat looks exactly the same as an intact female as the reproductive organs that are removed when it is spayed are inside the body. A spayed female will still have a genital opening (vulva) which is often a tear-drop shape located right below the anus.
