A firm, non-painful lump where the incision was made to spay your cat is absolutely normal. It is a part of the healing process most cats will go through *but not all*. Some things to look out for though- if the cat seems to be in pain from the lump or if it is red, swelling, or has drainage or if your cat is listless or not eating, this may be some cause for concern... in these events I would suggest calling your vet to check it out. Sometimes its not a bad idea to let the vet know that the lump has formed whether its painful or swollen anyway, just so they can make a note of it, and give you more detailed instruction as to make sure it does not get infected.

A FEMALE cat, until she is spayed or births at least one (1) litter of kittens, is called a Molly by most veterinarians and animal experts. If she is spayed or has had at least one litter of kittens, she is called a Queen. I know this question is old but 🤷🏽♀️
Actually, the term is spayed. This is where the cat gets "fixed" which also means it can not reproduce. The word spray would be in a male cat where he is letting out disgusting juice/pee from his genatles with a foul smell

I do not think there is a special term for it. If the cat is spayed, then the cat will often be described as "a spayed cat".

A cat can typically be spayed about 8 weeks after giving birth to kittens.
You can tell if a cat is spayed by looking for a small incision scar on her abdomen, or by checking for a tattoo or microchip that indicates she has been spayed. Additionally, a spayed cat will not go into heat or exhibit behaviors like yowling or spraying.
If there's a Little of the ovaries left, a spayed cat can still go into heat. But with the uterus missing, it can't get pregnant.
