Question regarding Tom....

Hello.

I read somewhere that for a while after the males are neutered they can still
impregnate a female.........Is there truth to this??

I ask because I still have "Buttons" who *cross my fingers* HOPES she gives birth in the next few days and I take daddy (Ziggers) in on Wednesday to get neutered.......As much as I LOVE watching the process so far with my girl and the excitement of the coming delivery, I do not want her to go thru this again!

PS- I will be getting momma and kittens spayed/neutered when they are ready, I plan on keeping all the babies as I believe it is a small litter.

Thanks for any input!!

If the cat was castrated, then I don't think it's possible for him to impregnate another cat.

Yes, I believe that he can still impregnate a cat for up to 30 days after being neutered.

Excellent...Thanks for the info! I have been reading up on it but found different answers and I was positive that there had to be some kind of time frame involved because this is true of men.....

I will be sure to keep them seperated to keep the chances even lower of this happening.

Also, Is it a little less likely that the male will be aggressive with the babies after he is neutered?

Male Cats can get a female Preg for 2 months after they are fixed. I kept Yoshi because he was Meekos only Kitten. I had him fixed at 3 months so he would not get Coco Preg. Coco is my old Cat that could not be fixed. The Vet said they still have hormones for 2 months after they are fixed. Coco was still nurseing her Kittens at the time. She had one litter.

Thanks! Hmmmm sounds like im gonna have my hands full between the new kittens and making sure that daddy stays away from mommy and mommy stays away from daddy for probably a little longer then I originally thought.

Thank you so much for the info and Im sure glad I asked and have you guys to help out as I wouldnt have thought that it was a month or two that I should keep them seperated to avoid it happening again!

I will also agree, but it can be more like 1-2 months. They still have active sperm. They may also still spray too if they were.
