sp(r)ayin?

wat happens when a cat is sprayed?? spayed?

is it a must and must you do that?
Answers:
If you do not want your female cat to have kittens, you have here spayed. If you don't want your male cat to father kittens, you have him castrated. In both sexes you can simply say you want them neutered.

The vet performs the operation. In the female cat a small keyhole incision is made on her side or belly and the ovaries are tied off or removed. In a male cat, a small cut is made in the scrotum and the testes removed. It is a relatively simple operation and they usually make a quick and easy recovery . Mine will come back from the vets in the afternoon, and by the evening are eating and playing as per usual.
In female cats it stops them coming into season and wanting to get out to be mated. In males it makes them less likely to wander off and get into fights with other male cats and they become altogether much more home loving and affectionate. I would highly recommend that you get your cats male or female, neutered as there are too many litters of kittens being bred by people who have no idea about rearing kittens properly, who then let them go to totally unsuitable homes, sometimes as young as 4 weeks old, which is simply cruel.
If you are on a low income, or benefits, the Cats protection league will help you to get your cat neutered for a very small fee. They send you a voucher which you take to your vet. Different parts of the country have other organisations which will help too. Here in Cambridgeshire there is also 'spaywatch' which helps to neuter cats and dogs, and also I understand that the RSPCA will offer a voucher for reduced cost neutering, although with the millions of pounds that the RSPCA have in their bank account, to be honest, if they REALLY wanted to reduce unwanted puppies and kittens, they could easily afford to offer free neutering.
A cat is not sprayed; a cat sprays; and it's usually male cats who do that - it's a squirting of urine to mark territory.

Spaying a cat means you get the cat "fixed" - removing, as far as I know, the ovaries and the uterus, so that the cat cannot have babies.

It's highly recommended, unless you want to breed her, to have her spayed. That means she is not going to go into heat; will not be likely to go missing when she's in heat, and will drastically decrease the risk of you getting kittens when you don't want them and force you to look for homes for them. It also has several drastic good effects if done before she goes into heat for the first time, especially - like reducing cancer risks on various parts of the body.

For male cats it's called neutering (or fixing again) and it's removal of the testicles. It also drops the number of homeless kittens that can appear, and has good behavioural and health effects. As I live on the forth floor over a busy city intersection and work long hours, I had my kitty neutered as soon as my vet would let me, just to know he won't leap down and get lost while I am away.

I hope I got things a bit clearer.
I get spayed and neutered mixed up, one's for the female and one is for the male. If a male cat is not fixed he will spray urine around all over the place to mark it's territory.

It keeps the cat from reproducing.
When a female cat is spayed, the cat's ovaries are removed. Since she no longer has ovaries, she no longer has egg cells, and cannot become pregnant. She will not produce unwanted kittens, and may extend her life considerably if she is otherwise healthy.
It stops lots of little unwamted kittens and also stops the female cat getting cancer of the ovaries (yes they can get cancer and so do dogs)so unless you wanna breed you should get your cat spayed..it is a very simple operation and shouldnt hurt your cat and it is also a good way of getting rid of any tomcats that will hang around, a female cat gives off an odour that boy cats like..
If a male cat is speyed, they remove its testicles, if its a female cat they remove its ovaries.
Its not a must but it will stop them breeding.
when a queen cat gets spayed she has an operation to remove to overies and the uterus ( like a histerectomy in humans) this stops her from having seasons and therefore getting pregnant. if you do not intend to breed her this is strongly recommended to stop accidents and they will happen i promise you
Nothing, i have a female who i have i had spay 14 years ago and is fine. It's good for cat to keep be in season.
ive got 3 male cats and 1 female, all have been spayed or neutered coz of unwanted kittens,but it hasnt stopped my boys from sprayin,one does it outside but one still does it indoors coz he is really nervous.
female gets spayed and males get neutered

the answer is yes

if you dont -- females go into heat and males spray(mark) every thing in sight because they can sense when a female is in heat.

also it helps to keep the animal population down
