No, they don't! Please get this cat to a vet right away, as it sounds as if she has some form of urinary tract infection! There is an outside chance she has blocked anal glands, as cats do get this very, very occsionally, but I would bet my life on the former. Your vet will do blood tests and further examinations, and will prescribe meds, and possibly a change in diet. Please get this seen to right away, as this is an uncomfortable, often even painful situation for a cat to be in. Hope she will be well soon.

This is why I prefer to spay and neuter my pets when they are still pre-pubescent, before all those hormones start surging because spaying/neutering doesn't always end all the hormones, just the egg/sperm producing ones. Your cat may be in false pregnancy. Or maybe the vet that spayed your cat didn't remove her organs at all but just tied her tubes (which is not generally done but some vets do do that instead) and the tying wasn't done well enough. You should take her to the vet to make sure. These days they can probably do something to diminish her sex hormones so she no longer goes into any kind of season if she's spayed.

My cat was going into heat after we got her spayed and it turned out that the vet who spayed her had left in one ovary AND some of her uterus. Luckily it was what we suspected and we taped the whole surgery. The previous vet lost his license.
However, feline estrus can be brought about by just a little bit of ovarian tissue, sending your cat back into heat. Meaning that your vet has done nothing wrong, things just happened. It would be fixed by a simple exploratory operation.
Take her to the vet. If it was a bladder infection she would be urinating on things and it would not be sticky unless it was bloody. It's urine. And it would have to be really dark. Sorry to be so descriptive. I just went through a lot with my male cat and I got really familiar with bladder infections and stones. Take her to the vet. Sounds like it might be an anal problem. Or a hormonal problem. It COULD happen. Best of luck to you!

YOUR CAT
A cat which has not been spayed goes into heat every 21 days from early spring until late summer. She will cry all day and night unless she can mate. She will try to get outside every time the door opens, and if she does, and is successful, the results will be a litter of kittens you will have to deal with.
A male cat which has not been neutered is worse. He will spray all over the house and the odor from his urine is impossible to get rid of, and to say the least, unpleasant. If he gets out, he will stay away for many days seeking a female to mate with. He will more than likely come home injured because of fights he has gotten into with other male cats after he has invaded their territory.
Much to the distress of your neighbors, if the male and female cats meet, the mating ritual is usually carried out at night, and very noisily.
Cats can be spayed as early as six or seven months of age - but as long as they can breed - it is never too late. Some veternarians feel that you should have your cat neutered before it's first hear occurs - other vets feel you should let the cat go through one season before neutering.
ADVANTAGES FOR YOU AND YOUR CAT
Well, a cat that has been spayed will not suffer from unrequited sexual urges. But there are health advantages as well. Unspayed cats have many more uterine infections than their spayed sisters, and male cats will get into many fewer fights and thus have less chances of getting injured after being neutered.
For you, everyone will notice a more pleasant cat around the house after it has been neutered. In the female cat, there are no noticeable personality changes. In a male cat, however, you may notice him to be more affectionate and docile. A male spayed cat no longer seeks female cats in heat and so they tend to stay closer to home. There will be little, if any, spraying and the odor associated with that will disappear. A male cat , after neutering, will no longer care to fight over female cats in heat, but will still hunt or fight when attacked. If he is in a household with other cats, he will continue to fight if he feels he has to establish dominance.
What about the old wives tale that neutered cats become fat and lazy animals? Well, this is only true if you allow them to become that. A spayed cat needs less food. Because its muscles are less well-developed and softer, it may give the appearance of being overweight. However, you can control this by not overfeeding.

No, they do not go into heat after being spayed. I would take kitty into the vet for a check up. I would suspect a urinary tract infection or something similar. Good luck.

No they dont. Your cat's ovaries and uterus was removed when she was spayed. She could have a yeast infection or bladder infection. You should take her to the vet asap.

No they don't. They usually meow like crazy when they are in heat. They also keep going into heat until they are spayed or pregnant. I know I found out the hard way.(The meowing part that is)

No they don't. Cat's get kidney infections easily. Better take her to the Vet for a good check up.
