Females in heat
Do females in heat come looking for males even if the males have been neutered?
I would think that the females could tell by the scent that those guys didn't have what they were looking for, but one of my neutered males never lost his Tom Cat Odor and he sprays all over the yard. But, when the horney girls come looking for action, Smokey doesn't know what to do except to fight and run them off his territory. It could be that the females come aound to eat the food that I leave out for the coons, or maybe they are just looking for a new place to live, like our new cat Fluffy. |

As far as I know, it is the males going to find the females, and not the
other way around... But I could be mistaken. It would be nice if you tried to find where the female lives. If you do, try to convince owners to have her spayed. If you don't find owners, and if she doesn't have a colar, You should try to trap her and bring her to vet to have her spayed... keep her AT LEAST until she is healed from surgery... (then find a family, yes? There are too many stray cats... and no body takes care of them and what happens is that before you know it, there are tons of cats in your neighborhood mating with eachother making yet other homeless kitties.... Those eventually either die from diseases, from accidents, or are picked up and put in shelters where most of them are put down because they have way too many Please, help reduce the number of homless cats.

I would be concerned if he never lost that tom cat smell and still sprays. It's possible he was cryptorchid and still has an undescended testical floating somewhere in his abdomen where it's still producing hormones. If so, that's a pretty high risk of cancer, not to mention he still has some undesirable tom cat traits left. Check into the vet who did the surgery and ask him if he found both testes. You can also extrude his penis and if it's spined, he is still producing hormones. If is smooth, he's been castrated and is just incredibly stinky. I think there's also a blood test that can tell if hormones are still being produced, but the only cat cryptorchid experience I've had is from the vet I work with having to open them up and find them during regular neutering surgery. |

It's possible he was cryptorchid and still has an undescended testical floating somewhere in his abdomen where it's still producing hormones. I always suspected that he probably had an undescended testicle, but the last time I had him at the vet we closely examined his penis and it was smooth. I suppose we could do a hormone activating blood test, but I think the lack of penile spines is pretty conclusive. I guess it's just his personality. He is a territorial, stinky sprayer who likes to fight. If he was human he would probably be in jail or ride a motorcycle. |

I'd be concerned about having kittens in your garden soon if you really have females in season out there. Do they have owners? Have you asked the neighbours who they belong to? Would you be willing to try and help those cats which are coming into your garden? |
