Male cats can become more easily blocked because of the anatomy of their urinary system. The urethra is a tubular structure that leads from the bladder to the outside of the body. In the female cat, the urethra is shorter and larger in diameter. In the male cat, the urethra, especially the portion that is within the penis, is quite narrow. It therefore can become more easily blocked.

Females are more prone to pregnancy if left unspayed.

Males tend to spray more if not neutered.
