Do boy cats spray even after they have been neutered?

Answers:
They may still have the ability to spray, and they may continue for awhile, but usually they stop. Once the hormones that control their desire or "need" to mark territory have run out of their systems, they almost always quit doing it.

yep..

No

If they mature and begin spraying before they are neutered they will often continue spraying after.

---

The rule of thumb is to have them neutered by 6 months before they start spraying. Once they start to spray it is an instinctual behavior which is repeated.

yes

---

no they dont, only to remark their area.

---

Mine tries, but nothing comes out. Thank goodness.

No, they do not. I have two males, 8yrs old.have been spayed..they do not spray after this procedure.

If your male cat is already spraying, chances are that neutering won't change it. It is a behavior that essentially becomes habitual for adult cats. Hopefully your cat is still young, and has not starting doing this; if that is the case, and you have him neutered, the chances are excellent that he will never start.

If the Male Cat is spraying before you have him neutered, it may take a couple of weeks for him to stop. If he dosn't spray or is a young male, fixing them usually keeps them from spraying. I am a cat breeder and I have 1 female who spray's when she is in season. I now have 7 neutered males, 4 were fixed earily, and 3 were studs who were fixed and sprayed before. Not one of them sprays now.

yes

Yes but it is still a good idea to get them neutered anyway! It will make your cat very healthy. Prevent them form getting cancer and many other diseases!

---

mine does, occasionally. just on a pile of dirty laundry.

i have 3 male cats, 2 are 13 yrs and one is 3, my young one was fixed when he was young and i haven't seen him spray. my two older ones were fixed late and i have caught them both still spraying from time to time.

---

No they don't, that's usually one of the top reasons that people get male cats neutered.

Yes, territorial male cats can still spray even after being neutered. The difference between the sprays are one is territorial the other is sexual. The neutered cat will not spray for sexual reasons, but for territorial ones.

Clean up the spray spots with an enzyme cleaner (I personally use Out! cleaner for cat urine and marking.). If you just introduced a new cat to the house, try some feliway spray for making kitties less stressed. If your cats are recently neutered, clean up ALL of their previous spray spots with enzyme cleaners (DO NOT USE BLEACH OR AMMONIA CLEANERS! IT WILL MAKE THE SMELL WORSE!), so the kitties cannot smell the spots again. You may be able to get kitty to stop spraying then.

yes they sure do

i have two males. one doesn't do anything of the sort. the other one goes through the motions when he's really excited about attention, but no spray comes out. no idea why he still tries.
