Is it possible for a spayed cat to impregnate?

Question

I have two cats, (boy and girl) one of which is spayed. They're both indoor cats, and never ever go outside. Lately we've felt a little lump in the female's lower abdomen. She's also been very affectionate lately.. which is unusual because usually she wants nothing to do with us. I don't know how it could be possible for her to be pregnant, because the other cat is spayed... but can this happen? Please help.

I accidentally wrote spayed when I meant neutered.. sorry for the confusion.

Answer 1

Yeah, FYI "spaying" is for females. A male cat would be neutered. So you either had your male cat neutered or you have two females.

But......taking into consideration the possibility you have a neutered male and an unsterilized female. Could the female be impregnated by the male? If the male was neutered in the last 2 to 3 weeks, YES, he can impregnate your female.

Neutering involves the removal of the testicles (the balls). BUT there is a "tube" that runs from the "balls" to the penis. This is the "tube" that carries the seamen to the penis. Neutering does NOT involve the removal of this "tube". So, even though your cat has been neutered, there is still possibly (usualy) semen in the "tube" and he is capable of impregnating a female for up to 3 weeks following sterilization.

But I'd take her to the vet just to be sure. It could be a tumor.

Answer 2

ok, first things first, females are spayed and males are neutered (just FYI because if you refer to the cat as being spayed, people will assume the gender of the cat as female). So if the female was never spayed, then she can still get pregnant, even though the male was neutered. Was she possibly exposed to another male cat? #2, the lump is a concern, it could be a cyst, check it out with the vet. She should be seen either way.

Hi,

Your female could simply want you attention as the lump may
cause her pain as well... Go see a vet asap... Personally, I also have a male and female, brother an sister, both fixed... and I adopted them at 7 months old... I could not seperate the two...
The female has a definate problem some malformation of the back feet an is very thin..., she cannot jump on anything even a simple chair... , but she is always in a great mood and is very affectionate... The male, he brother is extremely muscle strong,
and also very affectionate, Russian Blue style...

Your female is not pregnant ... Pregnant females are not
usually more affectionate because they are pregnant...

If she calls for your attention, she is trying to tell you something... Go see a vet... asap...

Keep us posted... and good luck....

Answer 4

well it depends on which cat was fixed and on how long ago you had them fixed if it was the girl cat fixed then no not ever could she become pregnant they remove the uterus when they fix so there is on place to conceive however if it was the boy cat fixed and if it was within a few weeks of the noticable lump then yes just like humans the sperm remains until it dies or the girl kitty could have been impregnated before the fixin but she could also have something more serious i had a cat who we thought was pregnant but she turned out to have an infection in her intestions if we had kept assuming she was prego and if we had waited another week she wouldnt have had a very high chance of recovering either way she needs to see a vet to double check that she is doing well pregnant or not... good luck and i hope she stays friendly and is well

Answer 5

Cats can have "false" heats. Every few months my female cat will act like she's in heat, and every once in a while my neutered males will, well you know. But nothinng actualy happens. If you waited untill they were older to fix them, and or if they were in heat when you fixed them, they will often have a false heat.

But the fact that you've felt a lump is concerining. I'd make an appointment with your vet asap. While it could be nothing, it could be something serious like a tumor.

Answer 6

If your female is spayed and your male neutered she cannot become pregnant...All reproducing organs are totally removed. You should have lump checked it could be an abscess, cyst, tumor or just a fatty tumor but its best to find out from a Vet

Answer 7

Good answers so far the reason she might be affection it towards you is because she is not feeling well to me it sound like a tumor probable her spleen. That doesn't cause to much pain but if you let it go it is deadly sorry to say. I would like to know the out come but she could not be pregnant but if you feel a lump PLEASE HAVE HER CHECKED IMMEDIATELY It is probably going to cost a real pretty Penny I've been there done it for my dog. I really hope with all my heart that everything turns out good I wish you luck But get her checked

I'm going to put this on my watch list I hope to hear something from you (wordchooser@yahoo)

Answer 8

to procure a cats' tubes tied? Why? So he could no longer make kittens yet could nonetheless freak out while a female exchange into around, spray each and everything, and be unruly and aggressive? if your male cat is fixed, they probable did extra effective than tie off the tubes... they hack off the finished kitty production facility. No testicles = no kittens = no issues. which ability a million) the vet who did the neutering (i.e., the reducing) did no longer eliminate one (or the two) of boy-cat's balls, 2) pass over Kitty has been trolling for alley-cats, and/or 3) your new vet is mendacity. Get a 2d opinion in the past you pay for something.

Answer 9

The purpose of spaying is to remove the uterus. You CANNOT get pregnant without a uterus. So no it is NOT possible.

Answer 10

haha...no, it has not egg cells cause it doesnt have ovaries, so it cant get pregnant...my cat is in labor as we speak by the way...
