Why are male cats still interested in my recently spayed cat?

The hormones would still be present in the blood stream for some time after surgery so it would be usual for the behaviors to continue for up to 3-5days after surgery. If it has continued longer than this you should contact your vet for a post-surgery recheck to ensure verything is healing well and there is no discomfort causing her behavior

Keke could be going into heat again. Cats can cycle quickly during certain times of the year. The male cats may be staking out your place to try to mate with her. I would get her spayed as soon as possible. Best of luck.

It can take many weeks to even months for the hormones that are created by the ovaries to stop circulating within the blood stream. But then, some boy dogs are just obnoxious sniffers. Neutering the male may help with this behavior.

Once all the male hormones have left the younger one's body, this should stop. It sometimes takes a few weeks (3+) for all the male hormones to go. Now that the younger one has no more testicles, there will not be any significant testosterone production anymore. Your older fellow is a sweetie and obviously not too worried and might see it just as play. As long as they do not have serious fights, I would not worry about it.

Some cats can go back into heat very quickly after giving birth, and that will cause a male cat to be attracted to her. Tangerine may also be smelling the scent of the kittens, which would make him interested in what is producing this new smell. I would keep the mother cat completely separated from Tangerine and any other cats while nursing her kittens so she can be a stress free as possible. I hope this helps!

It does usually take a few months for all the hormones to dissipate post neutering, however if the cat was neutered at a much older age, he may still have some of the behaviors/interest even without the ability. Keeping the cats separated if this behavior occurs, or even adding in a pheromone diffuser (such as Feliway) may help with inter-cat interactions.

Hello. There is a very small chance that Mojo could still have some residual sperm in his accessory sex glands. I would keep them apart just for another week & then you can keep them together. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
