yes, it is more then likely he will still try to mate. The male cat still has the erg to mate and to have babies. Cats can still get the feeling of wanting to mate, but they wont want to mate as often as they would when they werent neutered.

∙ 14y agoThey can. There are a number of things that can be done to control it. The best way to ensure your cat doesn't spray is to neuter it prior at 5 months or younger. If you neuter your cat prior to him reaching his sexual maturity, he is more likely to NOT develop the problems of spraying, marking, and aggressive behavior.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the cat. Some cats react suddenly to being fixed, and will stop all territorial behaviors. On the other hand, some cats will not react to being fixed for a few months, so be patient. If your cat is marking in spots that you don't want him to, this might not necessarily be because he was or wasn't neutered. Check if you have brought in a new member of the house, a new piece of furniture, or even a new smell. Even after being neutered, these and other things can make your cat uncomfortable and cause him to spray, scratch, or mark.

Do female cats still mark their territory after being spayed?
no, they dont
Why do neutered male cats spray?
Male cats spray as they are more territorial than uneutured male cats. Also I think it may have something to do with attracting a mate. However, some neutered males will still spray if neutered later in life, mainly because it is now "habit". You might need to teach the cat that spraying is not acceptable.
Can a male cat spray after being neutered?
technically they still can. however, after he has been neutered his desire or urge to spray goes way down. Typically neutering will help to stop the spraying. However, a cat that has been neutered before reaching sexual maturity (around six months old), it is very unlikely the cat will ever start spraying.

When most animals are 'fixed' they do overcome a laziness Answer: It's rather better to say, the cat becomes "relaxed" when they're neutered/spayed ( Especially male cats being neutered). They don't have to prepare themselves for going into heat season and mark all the territories, which makes it a lot less on their daily schedule as well. And my friend's and my male cats became HUUUGE after being neutered... (compared to the female siblings from the same litter who got spayed).

Why do cats urinate on personal positions and not in their clean litter box?
Cats "mark" their territory, especially where they smell other cats. For example, under a window inside where a stranger cat sleeps outside. They mark when they smell other males or stranger cats outside their clan. Cats can also urinate in the house if their litter box is not clean, or if they have a UTI.
Do you have to neuter male cats?
No, but if you do they will be less vicious and they won't wander as far from home. (I have 4 cats and 2 are male. 1 is neutered and the other isn't. The neutered one doesn't have a care in life but the other one is still a big softy! It depends what your cat is like. Also, un-neutered male cats like to spray to mark their territory!)

Do male cats make better pets than female cats?
yes it's a territory thing!Another AnswerHow much a cat urinates depends on what it is fed, and how much water it drinks.
