hello! i have a kind of weird question. if a cat is nuetered, can he still mate? not like mate with the purpose of conceiving, but does he still have the urge and can he? i was just wondering!

Well... I would say yes, because my mom's neutered male cat tried to mate with my sister's spayed female on several occasions. She would turn around and slap him in the face (lol), so he never got very far, but he still tried it from time to time. He was also about 8-9 years old at the time, and had been neutered since he was about 14 months old or so.

How old was this male cat in question when he was neutered? I thought maybe the fact that my mom's cat had already fully matured BEFORE he was neutered might have had something to do with it.

he was neutered right when he was old enough to be, so probabaly the same as your mom's cat. he is also abot 9 years old now, so maybe that is why. my other cat is a female who is not spayed yet, but old enough to breed, so of course , shes in heat and wants to mate! i just wanted to know if he could do it. she tries to get him to sometimes and he gets mad, but she doesnt stay in heat for very long, and never goes outside, so i was like, hmmm. maybe !
