Neutering removes the source of hormones. These hormones often contribute to the development of several forms of cancer. Less risk of cancer, greater chance at a longer Life.

Also, neutered males are less likely to go off looking for females in heat. And the more they stay at home, the less risk of getting hit by car or other accidents.

Do neutered cats need spaying?

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!


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.

Why Do you get cats nuerered?

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! :)
