Best Answer

Because there is an increasing amount of kittens being put into shelters and having to be put down, because the owners were not smart enough to get their cat desexed. It also helps stop the males urinating in places you'd rather he would'nt, and it makes him less aggressive and territorial.

No, it is not possible for a spayed cat to have kittens. The spaying procedure removes the cat's entire reproductive system, which includes any unborn kittens if any are present.
