Yes, but they cannot have any kittens.
when cats are not spayed or neutered, they will spray to attract other cats in order to mate, it not only smells terrible, it will also bring unwanted pregnancies an d sooner or later you will have a houseful of unwanted kittens, and so it goes!
I have several neutered cats that do not spray. I have added spayed females to them without problems. They all stay indoors and I have several litter boxes. Cats do not normally spray unless the litter boxes are not clean, then they (males cats) will squat and urine on the floor or carpet, instead of spraying, as an unaltered male would do. Outdoor cats behave totally different and do spray, both the males and females. This is based on my experience of 30 years and dozens of in and out cats. Also they should be altered young. Some vets will do it right away and others wait till 6 months. I always waited 6 months. Hope this helps a little. Helen Well, I just saw my neutered male spray the front of my car's tire. We didn't get him until he was about a year old, and from the shelter, which neutered him at that time. He just recently started spraying, at the age of 3 years. Perhaps not cooincidentally, we just added another cat (kitten) to our household. Rob
Well that was a crappy answer, now wasn't it. Cats can continue to "mate" all they want, but there aren't going to be any kittens. They can still be aroused if that's what you're asking. It's best to get male cats neutered before 6 months of age when they become sexually active.
If by "period" you mean "do cats menstruate" like a human, then no, cats do not have periods. Cats and most other mammals come into season, or heat which is a time where the female will be at her most fertile and be ready to mate. Cats go into heat roughly every 3-4 weeks. Cats in particular do not have periods because they don't release an egg until after mating has occurred.
== == Male cats -- and female cats too -- will "hump" others not only for sexual reasons but to show domination of the other cat. They are establishing a pecking order.
No, spayed female cats never come into season, so do not get the urge to mate or have kittens.
Yes, un neutered males will try to mate with spayed females.
Well, I suppose they could if they managed to get outside and into the cage. Also, they couldn't be spayed/netured.

The animals which need to be spayed and neutered are cats, rabbits and dogs. Generally the pets which one doesn't want to have a litter of pups or kittens or buns. Also, it is useful for aggressive pets who want to mate but don't have a companion.
Intact (not neutered) male cats usually disappear for weeks at a time to find a mate. Unspayed female cats in heat will also do anything to escape outside to find a tom cat in order to mate.
no, animals would not hate their owners, however, it is natural for animals wanting to mate, that is why it is so important to have your pet spayed or neutered.
The same way all cats mate.
Although it is possible for a Basset Hound to have intercourse with a spayed female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, the female WILL NOT get pregnant. It is also quite unlikely that the Basset Hound will want to try and mate with a spayed female as most males will only try and mate with females if they are in season. As the Cavalier has been spayed, she cannot come into season so the Basset Hound will unlikely want to have intercourse with her. Spayed females cannot get pregnant or go into season, so even if the Basset Hound does mate with her, there is no chance of puppies.
From my experience, she will chase them from her territory or in a few cases, accept them as a friend. Some cats though are more timid than others and can be chased by other cats. With a male, if she is not spayed and she is in season, they will probably mate resulting in kittens.
You shouldn't. That's called inbreeding, and the kittens will be born weak and maybe with genetic deformities. Mutant kitties aren't as awesome as they sound. That said, they will probably try to mate naturally as they get older, so if you don't want them to, get them spayed/neutered.
Cats, like humans, naturally know when/how to mate.
