Question
There is a really strong scent of male "spray" could this be something that a male has sprayed on the cat to warn other males to back off?

I have a kitten - she is about 7 - 8 months old. Do cats smell when they are in season?

Hi Robbie,
No, not to the human nose.  Other cats can tell though.

Hi again Robbie!
YES! That is probably exactly what happened.  You really should have her spayed so that this won't happen again, and you are for sure going to have a litter of kittens if you don't.  I presume you keep her outside.  She will be a much healthier and safer kitty if you not only have her spayed but keep her indoors if at all possible.

God Bless,
Becky
