Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2004Smokey Thinks I'm a Pervert
He doesn't trust me anymore. He thinks I have been molesting him. He doesn't sleep on my lap like he used to, but lays on the floor and stares at me with half closed eyes. It all started because I read that if male hormones were being released, he would have penile spines, but in a nuetered cat, the penis is smooth. Smokey was neutered when he was four months old, but for the past year or so he has been acting like a regular Tom Cat. He sprays, fights, stays out all night, smells like a tomcat, and I think he even has a girlfriend now. This behavior makes me believe that the vet must have left something behind. So, I have been trying to get a good look at his little penis to see if there are indeed spines on it. I'm hoping there are because then I can take him back in and get him neutered - again. He hates me fooling around down there so I haven't been able to get a good look yet, but I'm not giving up. Okay then.... Maybe you should let Smokey think the vet is the pervert? Just a thought...

Pervert stuff aside, I think I've seen spines on my definitely- neutered boys' penises. The way that a veterinarian told me to determine if a cat is neutered is still gonna make your cat think you're a perv, but it's a bit easier than trying to get him to sprout a woody: Feel his testicles. If they feel like little empty puffballs, then he's neutered. If there's, um, packing in his package, then he isn't. Plus he'll probably react if you're squeezing his nuts and they're still in there. :-) Laura  SignatureI am Dyslexia of Borg, Your a.s will be laminated. > circa 27 Jan 2004 19:04:17 -0600, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, Fat > Freddy (howlin@damoon.com) said, [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > Plus he'll probably react if you're squeezing his nuts and they're > still in there. :-) LOL!

The technique won't help much if he's dealing with an undescended testicle. circa Wed, 28 Jan 2004 07:34:03 -0500, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, Wendy (wendypart@nospam.com) said, > >Plus he'll probably react if you're squeezing his nuts and they're > >still in there. :-) [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > The technique won't help much if he's dealing with an undescended testicle. Except that the cat has already been neutered.

If he has undescended testicle(s), feeling for it/them isn't constructive. Even the vets can miss them when they do abdominal palpitation.

He couldn't find anything. Someone on this group posted a great article about cryptorchidism (hidden testicle) which mentioned the penile spines, so that's what I have been trying to examine. It also outlined a procedure using a testosterone stimulating hormone and comparative blood tests to see if testosterone is being produced which would indicate that he has a testicle somewhere in there. I haven't talked to the vet about any of this. I don't know if he even has the facilities to do such testing, and if he did, I'm sure it would be really expensive. It would probably be cheaper to do an exploratory operation. But I don't want to put Smokey through that. So, I guess the poor guy is going to have to put up with me poking and prodiing his private parts looking for penile spines. > This was the cat that people weren't sure if he was really neutered > because of his behavior. > If he has undescended testicle(s), feeling for it/them isn't > constructive.

I think I'd give the vet a call and ask about what they could do to determine if that is the problem. It might be as simple as the vet being the pervert. If he does have an undescended testicle it's best to get it taken care of and avoid the possibility of testicular cancer later.
