Does cat neutering always work?

Castrating works when you remove the testes from a male. Spaying works when you remove the ovaries and the uterus from a female. So, neutering works if those things are removed.


How is castration different from neutering?

Vasectomy means severing the ducts leading from the testicles, but leaving the testicles in place. Means the dog can't father any puppies, but will keep all the behaviour parts of being male, like aggression. Castration or neutering means removing the testicles entirely. W/o testicles the dog's testosterone levels will drop, making the dog less aggressive and less challenging.


How do you tell if a cat has been neutered?

After neutering, a male cat will no longer have testicles. He may still retain the furry pouch (called the scrotum) where the testicles once were, but it will be empty.


Do cats still have their testicles after being neutered?

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I think there are two different kinds of neutering: one where the cat keeps his testicles, and one where he doesn't. The male cat that I had when I was growing up still had his testicles, even though he was neutered. That cat died, and four years ago, when I graduated college and settled into my own apartment, I got two cats from a shelter: an adult male, and a female kitten. The adult male had already been neutered by the time I got him. And he does not have his testicles. I was not involved with the neutering of either of those male cats: the one I have now was already neutered when I got him, and my parents took care of the neutering of the other one, since I was a kid. So, I know there are two different kinds of neutering procedures, but I don't know much more than that, unfortunately.

Strictly speaking, no, because "cows" are female bovines. Bulls, which are male bovines, do have testicles. Steers are castrated bovines and therefore have had their testicles removed.
