Can a neutered cat send off a smell?

Yes, he should also lose the urge to spray.


What can you do about a roommate's un-neutered cat's behavior?

An unspayed cat will display many troubling behaviours. The cat should be neutered, for the cat's and your sake. Assuming the behavior you are asking about is SPRAYING. A discussion with your room mate on getting this male neutered should be in order. Un-Neutered Male cats will alway's Spray. They are marking their territory. The smell is absolutly over whelming and needless to say if it's spraying in your home, is almost impossible to get out of anything. Encourage your roomate to have the cat neutered. This procedure is simple, safe and inexpensive ( If you go to the Humane Society or the SPCA ). A neutered cat is also a healthier cat.


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.

spray a scented smell and hoover over it. You could try a concentrated disinfectant, Zoflora is pretty good. If you have a tom cat, you would probably be better off getting him neutered.

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 cat die from ingesting tick spray?

It depends how much tick spray the cat ingested, and which specific tick spray it was. It certainly would not be good for the cat. I would strongly recommend taking the cat and the tick spray can to the vet, as the vet is more likely to be able to find the effects of the specific active chemicals on the cat's system.


Can a sterile male cat still spray?

Yes, a neutered male can can indeed still spray, but as his hormones calm down he will be less likely inclined to spray as he will no longer be trying to attract females or enforcing his territory. It takes about six weeks for any residue hormones to completely filter out of the body. If the cat sprayed before he was neutered, you may have to train him out of it, even after the procedure, either because its a habit for him or he can still smell his urine. Although it is not common for a cat to carry on spraying, it can happen. Be sure to thoroughly clean any areas he used to spray to kill off any enzymes (this will attract him to the same spot again and again).


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.
