***** If ur cat is spayed will it still go out at night ***?

Question

our 3yr old is spayed and wants to go out at night so i was wondering if thats normal because i keep on hearing how cats roam looking for a mate

we got her from spca and they told us she was spayed she is 3 yrs old and im just going by what they told us, would they have examined her or something, we are going to take her for chipping soon but i mean is the spca right? it was also listed that she is an indoor cat which turned out to be not true at all because she just wants to go out at night and went out and found her way back home

so do spayed cats go out at night too?

Answer 1

Cats have a natuiral instinct to go out at night, and the older they are when they are spayed, the stronger this instinct is in them.

Desexed cats don't go looking for a mate, but they will go out roaming, hunting small nocturnal animals and if another cat is around who picks on them, they will fight back.

For these reasons, it is a good idea to keep your cat inside at night. At first they will be very tricky looking for ways to get out, but after a while they will not try that hard, and will just run away when you say "NO" very firmly.

Good luck and best wishes! :-)

Answer 2

If a cat is used to going outside, it's going to want to whether or not it's spayed. For your cat's safety, discourage her from leaving the house. There are cars, dogs, other cats, and a number of diseases she can pick up outside. When we adopted a half grown kitten who was used to being in & out, I used a "no-no can" - an aluminum soda can with pennies in it - that I'd shake when he got near a door. He did get out once and went under the deck, so I left the door open and sprayed him with the hose. After that, I could open the door to the deck and step over him without a get-away attempt. Your cat really will be safer inside, so do your best to train her.

Unlike the morons on this site often think, cats don't exist just to get raped by male cats and have kittens. They like to go out and play. It is not safe though, so just let your kitty enjoy looking out the window. And good job on getting your kitty spayed. Being impregnanted and then having kittens, not to mention heat, is a terrible experience for cats, and it is sad when people don't take good care of their pets.

Answer 4

There is a reason that indoor cats live 12-15 years on average while outdoor cats live just 2 years on average. Outside cats face dangers from getting lost, mischievous humans and children, humans that think an outside cat is fair game to take home, cars on the streets, traps, poisonous substances or plants that they may eat or drink, other cats, and other animals with whom they may get into a fight with. We see the highest incidence of diseases like FIV, FeLV, and FIP in outdoor cats and these are diseases for which there is no cure. Although some outdoor cats are lucky and survive well into their teens, this is by far not the norm and the vast majority of outdoor cats die a young and painful death from harm, disease, poisoning or injury.

However let's also consider the other side of the coin: proponents of keeping cats outdoors protest that it is cruel to keep a cat inside to see them staring through windows, wanting to be outside where they clearly have so much fun. And that it is unnatural to keep them indoors. But medical, factual and statistical evidence also shows us that although having a cat outdoors does have one possible advantage (the fun of playing outside) it has innumerable disadvantages and there is also no evidence to back up the claim that cats need to be outside for any reason. Findings also show that most cats enjoy the outside so much because the inside is fairly boring for a cat, and many owners do not spend enough quality time with their pet, not because of an innate need. So make sure that your home is just as exciting for a cat to be as the outdoors is. Play with your cat at least 2 hours a day and make sure you have plenty of toys, towers, and scratching posts on hand so you cat can entertain him/herself while you aren't playing with them.

Answer 5

Yes they do. Our cat was spayed a few months ago, and she is indoors/outdoors. She will go out all night, then be at the door in the morning when I leave for work!! Sometimes with a present for me! As long as she comes back home I wouldnt worry.

Answer 6

Even if spayed, a cat will go outside at night if you let it. If she where not spayed, there would be other clues that she was in heat, and wanting to go out to find a mate. She would be vocalizing (meowing) incessantly and rubbing herself on you, on the carpets and generally driving you crazy.

It is certainly safest for your cat if she remains strictly an indoor cat. Cats outside, particularly at night, are more likely to meet with grief, whether it be a fight with another cat, attacked by dogs or coyotes, or hit by a car. In some municipalities, your cat may be trapped by animal control or even by cat hating neighbors. If you are lucky, they are taken to the pound or humane society. If not, you might not see your cat again.

Once you start letting them out at night, cats will like to continue doing so because to them, I guess, it's fun. But it is also potentially dangerous. For sure, get your cat microchipped so that if she does get out and end up at the pound or humane society, you may get her back.

Answer 7

just because she's spayed doesn't mean she won't want to go outside. she also goes out to play and hunt not just look for a mate. although i don't recomennd you let her roam the neighboorhood because she could get hit by a car or come into contact with another cat and get in a fight or contract some type of disease such as feline leaukemia or a feline hiv. but if you do make sure she is current on all vaccines.

Answer 8

Yes spayed cats go out too.

Cats love being outside. They can get in touch with their wild side.

Answer 9

Both of my cats were neutered at 12 weeks, and they were total inside cats. A few months ago, we got a doggie door for our dog, and the cats decided to use it also. One of them ran away and we got a phone call the next day that he had crawled into the engine compartment of a truck. The owner of the truck discovered this when he started the truck. I now have one cat, who isn't allowed outside. If you like your cats, either don't let them outside, or build a cat proof fence.

Answer 10

If she was an indoor cat, she should stay that way. That way, they're not exposed to any of the outside elements (diseases, cars, dogs, etc.). Especially at night!! Most people who just HAVE to let their cats out do it during the day and bring them in at night. Don't let her out. Cats will want to go out whenever they get a chance. Just don't let them do it.
