Will unneutered male cat + spayed female cat = no spraying?

You'll definitely need to neuter him. Unneutered males will spray in the house even if they are the ONLY cat in the house. He'll also be much more aggressive if left unneutered, and will be constantly wanting to get outside to impregnate other cats.

It's good that you've decided to get the mother spayed. You should do it as soon as the vet allows. In the meantime, don't let her outside, whatever you do. She can already get pregnant again.

As for "getting it on" it's possible that this behavior would still occur, but nothing would come of it. It's also MUCH less likely to happen if both pets are fixed.

The kitten should be neutered at 4 months old if he's gonna be around an intact female. Kittens that young can breed and certainly can by 6 months old.

As far as spraying? That varies - some spray early, some not at all. I would physically separate them - put one in the bathroom with a litter box for a few days. You HAVE to get her spayed. And don't tell me you cannot separate them. She will continue to produce milk and he will nurse unless they are separated. If she is back in heat again, keep them apart and have her spayed in a few weeks.

Last year my beautiful Manx cat Theodore went out for the evening and never came back. I love cats and the house didn't feel the same without one, so I picked up Lola from a rescue centre. She was very frightened and would pee all over the house. I found Cat Spraying No More� on the internet and the techniques worked almost immediately. I haven't had a problem with Lola since. Amazing!

Can't stop your cat peeing in the house? Then worry no more...

He will still try to mate with her, regardless of whether she's fixed. An un-neutered tom will try to mate with any female of any age, regardless of her viability as a mate. They will drive each other (and you) crazy as a result. Also, an un-neutered tom will often spray even when there is no female around. For everyone's happiness and health, get them both fixed.

In addition, 9 weeks is PLENTY old enough to be weaned. For her sake, separate them now. Nursing takes so much out of an animal, and she shouldn't have to do it this long. If he's resistant, she may eventually become aggressive when he tries to nurse and injure him.

Oh yeah, neuter him because he can start spraying as young as four months of age. Once it starts, it hard to break. Do yourself a big favor. Also, mom cat must be spayed. If she ever gets outside or if you wait to long she will have more kittens. A kitten will nurse as long a mom cat let it. Talk to the vet about having her spayed now.

Yes he will still spray.

Be sure and keep the mommy in the house so she doesn't get pregnant again. Many females go into heat almost constantly and only stop when pregnant and then go into heat again while the kittens still need her. It never stops and she has a higher rate of cancer in her breasts.

I am very glad you plan on a spay and now a neuter. Male cats never stop spraying.

Not getting him neutered will guarantee his spraying. Not only that, it will be unpleasant to be around him once he hits sexual maturity. He will be aggressive, and have an unpleasant odor about him.

Many vets will neuter him at 8 weeks/2 pounds. But I certainly would get him neutered before he reaches six months of age.

And you have discovered that a female can go into heat even while nursing. Once she is done nursing, get her spayed. It will benefit her and you also.

he may still spray. He will "mark his territory" especially if there are any other males around (even if those are neutered). Also, even if the cats are fixed they will try to mate. especially if the female is not fixed. My cats are constantly doing it (no pun intended) even though the are related. In fact, even my female cat is trying to mate with her daughter!! not cool!
