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
They don't. Male cats will mount other cats to show dominance. They arent actually trying to mate with the other cats. They're asserting themselves on the other cats.
The purpose of neutering a tom (not spaying, as that is the correct term for altering a sfemale) is to top it from impregnating any queens.

Why are Tom Cats are still after your spayed female cat?
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.
If cats are spayed or neudered can they still mate?
Cats that have been spayed or neutered cannot reproduce. Spaying removes the female cat's reproductive organs, while neutering removes the male cat's testes, preventing mating and reproduction.
What is the proper name for a female cat?
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 🤷🏽♀️
Will an uncastrated male cats still mate neutered female?
Nothing will happen. The female cat, because she is not nor never will be on heat, will often not welcome the male's advances and might even fight him off. There is no chance she will get pregnant. To stop this behaviour it would be advisable to neuter the young male cat.
Will a tom cat go after a neutured female cat?
Yes, a tom cat may still pursue a spayed female cat due to natural instincts, but without the intention of mating. It is important to ensure the female cat's safety by keeping her indoors or supervised when around tomcats.

What do you call an un spayed female cat?
Spayed female cats are called just that - spayed, or fixed, female cats.
How come your male cat still humps your female cat when he is fixed?
He still has the hormones and instinct to do so, but not the physical ability... do not be alarmed by this, even if the female is not spayed, nothing will happen.
What happens when a female cat which is not spayed and a male cat that is neutered get together can they mate?
No, he can't. Neutering involves removing a male cat's testicles, which are the organs that produce sperm. Without them, it is impossible for a male cat to produce sperm, and therefore impossible for him to impregnate a female cat.

How do you tell the sex of your cat?
The male cat (every animal) has testicles, unless they are neutered. A neutered male cat will not have visible testicles, but there will be a noticeable space between its anus and penis. A spayed female cat looks exactly the same as an intact female as the reproductive organs that are removed when it is spayed are inside the body. A spayed female will still have a genital opening (vulva) which is often a tear-drop shape located right below the anus.

Will a female cat mate if she isn't in heat?
A male cat may try to mate with a female cat who is not in heat, but it is unlikely. Mating behaviors can also be displays of dominance.
If a female cat is pregnant will she still mate with a male cat?
No. A female cat will only mate while she is in season. Once a mating is successful and kittens conceived, the female will no longer be in season and will not do so again until the kittens are born and weaned off onto solid foods. This is untrue, a female cat can mate and become pregnant as soon as a week after giving birth to a litter - she will also mate well into her pregnancy
Is is possible for a female cat to mate then conceive then be spayed and then give birth to her kittens?
No, it is not possible for a spayed cat to have kittens. The spaying procedure removes the cat's entire reproductive system, which includes any unborn kittens if any are present. If the cat is far into her pregnancy, it may be safer (unless a vet says otherwise) to let the kittens be born and then spay the mother as soon as the kittens are weaned. A cat early in pregnancy can be spayed safely.
