will a spade cat still have the instinct to go get pregnant?

Question

I have a 1yr old cat thats been spade since 8wks she ran off
and nobody can find her does she think she can still get pregnant?

Answer 1

no maybe she saw a mouse and went to chase it

Answer 2

I have a spayed cat as well, and she was thrown outside after a few months before I got her. She didn't have those instincts and I don't believe your cat does either. What I believe is happening with your cat is that some cats want the experience of being outdoors.

Another option may be that some has found her and has taken her in. This could be more likely, especially if she didn't have any mind of collar.

Hope you find your cat!

Answer 3

I know exactly what you mean. Instinct can still be there but not likely. A spade animal may seem like they are looking for love but rest a sured that even if they do the proper actions no babies will happen.

Answer 4

No, if she was spayed at an early age, she does not have any urges of that nature. She may have become lost or if she is a nice cat, someone may be feeding her & taking care of her. Have you posted notices, checked with the local animal control agency or checked with neighbors ? A micro-chipped pet is the best way to get them back if they stray from your home.

Answer 5

No, the hormonal impulses that cause them to go looking for love are stopped by the spaying.; unless the surgery was messed up. That doesn't mean she might not get the urge to go exploring, or get lost, or get into trouble. Hope you find your kitty soon!

Incidentally - it's 'spayed' not 'spade.'

Answer 6

First of all, you 'spay' a cat, so the correct word is 'spayed'.

Secondly, removing the reproductory organs doesn't remove all instinct to have sex, just the ability, to get pregnant. Their sex drive diminishes greatly, but it's still there.
