How Do You Tell If A Cat Is Neutered?
• Look for it in writing. When you’re buying or adopting a cat or kitten, ask if it has been neutered. There may be a certificate or letter from a vet to prove that the cat has been neutered. This is such an easy thing to do and will save you a lot of time and effort. • Check for tattoos. If no information is available, or if you have found a stray, check the cat’s inner ear for tattoos. A letter M means the cat has been micro chipped. All other tattoos mean the cat has been neutered. • Look to see if any fur has been removed. Has your cat been shaved recently? If your cat has been recently neutered, the fur in his lower abdomen area will be shorter than the fur on the rest of his body, since vets need to shave off the fur in that area before performing the operation. • Check! Luckily, checking to see if your male cat has been neutered is easier than checking to see if your female cat has been spayed. Simply hold (or get someone else to hold) your cat so that he’s lying on his back wit
