Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2004Question about a cat
a few months ago some nice person dropped off a cat in my neighborhood. We have taken it in. We think it is a female but not sure. Do female cat spray. We are still in the stage of making friends. Thank you very much barbara -- > a few months ago some nice person dropped off a cat in my neighborhood. > We have taken it in. We think it is a female but not sure. Do female cat > spray.

Which means you'd better accelerate that friendship ASAP and get her into the vet to be fixed, or you may be dealing with 4-8 more cats by summer time. If you dont think you'll be able to lay hands on her easy enough to be able to put her in a carrier, you can try a humane trap. Our Humane Society usually lends ours out for a deposit, so you might check with organizations close to you to see what they can do to help you. Thank you very much for the information barbara If the cat is spraying, you've got a boy. Take him to the vet and get him neutered. As always, thank you for giving him a home. >a few months ago some nice person dropped off a cat in my neighborhood. >We have taken it in. We think it is a female but not sure. Do female cat >spray.

You have not been charged for this service but I reserve the right to charge in the future if you make the same mistake again. >If the cat is spraying, you've got a boy. Not necessarily. >Take him to the vet and get >him neutered. That may reduce spraying in a male cat, it will not eliminate it - even neutered females will sometimes spay on the boarders of their territory. > As always, thank you for giving him a home.  SignatureBob. Call my cat? No, I just run the can opener. > If the cat is spraying, you've got a boy. Take him to the vet and get > him neutered. As always, thank you for giving him a home. I have seen castrated cats spraying, too. I have a netered Female who is about 7 years old and she sprays. Mostly on the guest chairs & guests but cats do as cats will. > a few months ago some nice person dropped off a cat in my neighborhood. > We have taken it in. We think it is a female but not sure.

If you do a web search on the topic, you will see that female cats do in fact spray. The op should have the cat sexed and then determine the reason for the spraying. >> I have a netered Female who is about 7 years old and she sprays. >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Female cats do not spray so if the cat is spraying then it is definitely a boy. Female cats can spray. SignatureBob. Anything on the ground is a cat toy. Anything not there yet, will be. > >> I have a netered Female who is about 7 years old and she sprays. > >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Anything on the ground is a cat toy. Anything not there yet, will be. My female spayed cat sprays. Her favorite spot was always up on the kitchen counter and aims for the toaster. I don't know why, but I could NOT get her to stop. Pepper didn't work, vinegar didn't work, ammonia didn't work. Ironically enough, I just moved to a new apartment and she hasn't sprayed "yet". We shall see! kilikini >> >"Boz" <axelmct@btinternet.com> wrote in message >news:<bu0qov$6ut$1$8300dec7@news.demon.co.uk>... [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > >kilikini If a cat sprays indoors, which after all to them it is their den, then there is usually something wrong with the cat. Outside, to mark their territorial boundary, fine. But when they come in and do it then I would seek help from your vet. SignatureBob. Call my cat? No, I just run the can opener. I want to thank you all very much for the information. We are one step closer,we got the cat to stay in for the night. He or she loved it. Not sure my other cat did. Hopefully next month the vet!! We are recovering from Hurricane Isabel. Just finished with the roof.Thankgoodness :-) Barbara |
