Females cats don't get neutered, spayed would be the correct term. No, male cats won't usually go after a female cat if the cat is not in heat (ready for mating)
Tom cats may still be attracted to spayed female cats because they may still emit pheromones that attract males. Additionally, the behavior of tom cats is influenced by instinct and territory marking, so they may still try to pursue and mate with a female cat even if she is spayed. Keeping your female cat indoors and providing a safe and secure environment can help prevent encounters with tom cats.
Whether that is the reason or not, is indefinite. However, the male has hormones in his urine that the female cat responds to, and these could trigger her mating response. no, don't they sniff each other out? The female emits pheromones when she is in heat that the male cat responds to. So the order is, the female is in heat and THEN the male sprays to mark territory.
Sometimes a fixed female cat will still have the instinct to urine mark her territory. It can also be a sign of a urinary tract problem or infection. It is best to seek veterinary advice if your cat is marking.
No, desexed female cats do not go into heat. Spaying (desexing) involves removing the reproductive organs that are responsible for the heat cycle, so once a female cat is spayed, she will no longer experience heat cycles.
Yes, some cats can go into heat as early as 4 months old, although the average age is around 6-9 months. It's important to have your cat spayed to prevent potential health issues and unwanted pregnancies.

Cats are very seldom castrated; a neutered cat does retain his penis. And a neutered tom will still cover a queen in heat, because his reactions to her scents and actions will still be in place.

Yes and so will a male cat.

Most cats don't like to be kept indoors, so she's wanting outside to do her think! Because your cat goes outside it doesn't mean she's looking for a tom cat, or a tom cat is looking for a female. My cat Molly loves to go outside just around our gardens and sit in amongst the ferns and loves it when I go out and garden and will watch me for hours. She does have her 'friends' come around every so often. LOL
Yes.
It depends where you go. My neighbour recently had her tom-cat neutered by the PDSA - and it cost her £26.

To determine if a female cat is spayed, look for a small scar on her abdomen from the surgery. Additionally, a spayed cat will not go into heat or exhibit behaviors like yowling or spraying. Consulting a veterinarian for a physical examination can also confirm if a cat is fixed.
