Does a newly neutered male cat need to be kept separate
from any unspayed females for any period of time post-neuter? I've
heard that viable sperm may remain in the male's plumbing for a period of time and as a result, the cat should be maintained separate from a female in heat. (The female will be spayed as well. This is a timing question only!) Thanks! Lucrezia |

Yes! the male should be separated for about 2 months. Yours in Purrs.

This is a timing question only!) Congrats on your new additions. The answer is no, according to my vet because I had the same question. Once neutered he can no longer impregnate a female. The hormones may linger a while, but not sperm. -- Cheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C. Fields |

Cheryl:
I see that our Vets disagree on this.I would err on the side of caution and have the cat separated for about 2 months from a fertile female. When in doubt maybe we should get a third opinion. Yours in Purrs Leslie |
