Question
hello my name is kerri and we recently got a boy cat. we have always just had girl cats. my question is can boy  cats still spray if they are fixed?  

Answer
Hello Kerri,
Boy cats as well as girl cats are capable of spraying.  Neutered males will generally not begin spraying, altho they may go thru the motions...raising and shaking their tails.  You should have no problems with this as he is fixed.  Thank you for your inquiry, and hope this has been helpful to you.
