can you get your cat neutered after he sprayed a couple times?

Answer 1

Better hurry up!!! After they have established spraying as routine, neutering may not stop them....but it is the only chance!!! If not neutered, he will get worse and it will smell worse!!!
Make the appointment tomorrow!!!

Answer 2

You can get your male cat neutered before and after he sprays. This can be done early in life, but should be done at around 6 months. My cat was about 6 months when he started spraying and eventually at about 9 months he did it so bad. I was really getting worried. At 10 months I got him neutered and the moment he got clipped, he stopped. It's been 2 months and he hasn't sprayed once. I may be lucky. But not all cats will stop right away. Some may slow down the spraying. It takes a couple months to get rid of their excessive hormones. Get him neutered fast. Your cat will be happier too.

I was worried about him being sore and upset after being neutered but he was a happy kitty and wobbled around like he was drunk for a couple days. It was cute and he didn't mind. Now his night howls have stopped along with the spraying. It'll be good for the both of you!

Answer 3

Yes you can, though it may take some time after neutering for the spraying to stop. It takes time for the male hormones that cause the spraying to decline. That's why its best to neuter when they are younger.

Answer 4

Sure. One of my cats was not neutered until he was 2 yrs old. Of course he still sprays - but only outside.

Answer 5

neutering does not stop cats from spraying

Answer 6

Yes, you can get a male cat neutered any time.

Generally, it depends. There are greater chance of your cat's spraying problem completey disappearing if its younger like a kitten but harder if its over 1. Either way, it probably reduce greatly. Good luck and hope this helps.
