After a cat is neutered, it may take some time for the testicles to fully shrink and disappear. This is because the hormones that control the size of the testicles need time to decrease after the surgery. So, it is normal for a neutered cat to still have testicles for a period of time after the procedure.

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.


How can you tell if a male cat is neutered?

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 and much reduced in size compared to an intact male cat. Bear in mind if your cat has just been neutered the testicles still may be visible. It takes around 6 weeks for the hormones to calm down, so the testicles will shrink over this period. A male cat has a larger gap between the anus and penis, whereas a female cat's vulva is situated closer to the anus.

How can I tell if a male stray cat has been neutered or not?

You can determine if a male stray cat has been neutered by looking for a few key signs. Neutered males typically have a lack of visible testicles, which are absent or reduced in size; however, some cats may still have a small amount of scrotal tissue. Additionally, neutered males may exhibit less territorial behavior and aggression. If you're unsure, a veterinarian can provide a definitive answer.


Why does your cat still spray when he has been neutered?

My guess would be your cat was neutered relatively late in life, after he learned sexual behaviors such as spraying or caterwauling. If a tom cat is neutered prior to learning these behaviors, they tend to not express them. However, once a tom cat has learned these behaviors, even in the absence of testosterone from testicles they will still express the behaviors. It is also possible that a small portion of testicle was left during the surgery, although this is extremely rare.
