Can you tell if a cat is spayed?


This may seem a bizarre question, but I have had Kai for nearly three years and don't really know! She came from a shelter and was suspected to be pregnant as she was so aggressive toward other cats- turns out she just doesn't like them. But she came to us with the possibility she may have been so therefore, I don't know. Would she have a had a heat of she were intact? If so how can you tell? I haven't ever worried about pregnancy as she only goes out with me, she's a house cat out of choice, she had the option but doesn't like it. Some cat!

I'm no expert on unspeyed girls but I would have thought that if your girl has had access to outside and has not fallen pregnant in 3 years then she is either sterile or speyed.
The 'calling' is just blatant tarty, trollopy, noisy behaviour - sure you would have noticed!

No way to tell physically (sooo much easier with boys ) but as DM says you would have noticed the calling, etc.

DM you have such a great way with words.

In response to your question, I have no idea.

Re: Can you tell if a cat is spayed?


like Dm has said you WOULD know if she was calling and on indoor cat you may miss the first 1 or 2 but as they get older they call more offten and louder and if not mated some girls will call non stop

Re: Can you tell if a cat is spayed?


She would definitely have called in a three year period even as an indoor cat and you can't possible miss it...... Unless she silent calls in which case it can be very difficult but not impossible to tell. She will not make the lovely loud screeching noises that DM so creatively describes but she will be much more affectionate to everyone and will roll a lot.
