Male cats are neutered. Female cats are spayed.
improved answer:
Being Neutered and spayed is the same thing, but for the different genders of the cat. If your cat is neutered, he can't be spayed, since, technically, he already has been. Just remember that these two words are the same thing, but neutered is for males and spaying is for females. Hope it helped!
Yes, but they cannot have any kittens.
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.

They have to be at least 8 weeks old to be spayed or neutered. It doesn't have to be done so early, but it should be done sooner rather than later, as studies have shown that cats that are spayed/neutered later are at greater risk for certain serious conditions and diseases, such as Breast cancer. Also keep in mind that female cats can get pregnant as young as 4 months old, so if there is any chance of her meeting an un-neutered male, she should be spayed early.
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.
I think you mean Neutered? :P Well cat's get Neutered because the owner does not wish for the cat to get other female cats pregnant. Neutering is for Male cats and Spaying is for Female Cats. If you would like to breed cats, then don't get them neutered/spayed! If you do not get your cat neutered, it doesn't mean that it's going to get female cats pregnant, you'll just have to keep a close eye on them. I have noticed that when a cat is in heat, it gets rather annoying! But that's just me! :)
No, neutered cats have had their testicles surgically removed.
nope they don't i don't think so.....
No, neutered cats have had their testicles removed, so they do not have their "balls" anymore.
Yes, cats can still lick themselves after being neutered.
If males are kept away, no. Cats really need to be spayed and neutered.
Not all the dogs and cats that are adopted from a shelter are always neutered.
Yes, but they cannot have any kittens.
Have you checked if they are already de-sexed? Neutered and spayed cats cannot breed. Also, an intact female will not be interested in a male until she is in heat. That being said, unless you are an experienced breeder, you should not be breeding your cats; there are many risks to breeding, with the worst losing both the mother and kittens. Cats do not need a litter, and by neutering and spaying them, you reduce the risk of illnesses and infections that can develop in an intact cat.
Yes, neutered cats can still exhibit behaviors that may make them appear unneutered, such as spraying or aggressive behavior. However, physically, neutered cats will not have visible testicles.
