female cats are spayed, not neutered. she may be having a hard time adjusting to her new surroundings, or something may be bothering her. you should take her to the vet to check that she has already been spayed and if not it's a good idea to have it done so that she doesn't get pregnant and this could potentially stop the spraying. She may also have a urinary tract infection which should be checked because if left for too long can make her very sick and ultimately kill her. Good luck! I hope she's okay and stops spraying!

Just be aware that neutering does not always stop spraying - my cat sprayed for all of her 18 years and she was neutered as a kitten!
Your cat will come into heat if she isn't spayed, especially at this time of year - that is, she'll be rolling around and/or meowing loudly and sticking her bottom in the air, and becoming unusually affectionate!!

yes, the other person was right, females are not "neutered" (it's a hard one to spell) if you turn her upside down and look at her tummy, look towards the back of her tummy and if she has been neutered she will have a slight scar. We had two cats that we spayed later in life (they were inherited from the farm we bought and it took us some time to catch them) and they sprayed all their lives, but they lived outside so it was ok.

first of all, females aren't 'nuetered'. they're spayed. unless i've finally gone insane. it's a territorial thing so she's spraying because she feels insecure.

actually neutered refers to both. castrate and spay are the male and female terms. look it up in the dictionary.
