Why do neutered male cats spray?
Male cats spray as they are more territorial than uneutured male cats. Also I think it may have something to do with attracting a mate. However, some neutered males will still spray if neutered later in life, mainly because it is now "habit". You might need to teach the cat that spraying is not acceptable.
Can a male cat spray after being neutered?
technically they still can. however, after he has been neutered his desire or urge to spray goes way down. Typically neutering will help to stop the spraying. However, a cat that has been neutered before reaching sexual maturity (around six months old), it is very unlikely the cat will ever start spraying.
Do male cats spray that have a queen to breed?
Yes. Spraying is a way of marking territory, and both male and female cats are very territorial. Except when a female is in heat, a male cat considers her no more than another intruder on his hunting grounds, and will spray to mark his turf.
Will a neutered male start to spray if other adult male cats are brought into the house?
If they are agitated by each other, by their surroundings, or are stressed, then they can.
Do you have to neuter male cats?
No, but if you do they will be less vicious and they won't wander as far from home. (I have 4 cats and 2 are male. 1 is neutered and the other isn't. The neutered one doesn't have a care in life but the other one is still a big softy! It depends what your cat is like. Also, un-neutered male cats like to spray to mark their territory!) Hope this was useful to you.
Can nuetered male cats go into heat and spray?
Male cats do not go int heat, neutered or otherwise; heat is a characteristic of the female oestrus cycle. Even a properly neutered male may still respond to a female in heat, out of habit. If a cat has learned to spray before he was neutered, he very likely will continue after he has been neutered. It likely will be less frequent, but it can still happen.
Does not having cats neutered make them go to the bathroom more?
Not necessarily, but male cats will tend to spray their urine to mark their scents.
Can male cats get a cat pregnant after they are nutered?
No. That's why you have them neutered. But they sometimes can still spray.
Do male cats feel threatened by neutered male cats?
yes
Should I have my 1 year old cat neutered?
Yes. Male cats that are not neutered will spray and may run off for days looking for mates. It will also cut down on unspayed female cats having kittens.
What do male cats do when in heat?
Male cats not neutered 'spray' their territory with urine (usually all around your house), and act more 'manly' around female cats. They can also become aggressive to other cats and to humans.
Do you have to spay the male and female cat as well?
Male cats are neutered and female cats are spayed.
