Does Neutering Male Cats Stop Them From Urine Spraying Inside the House?

When my male cat reached maturity, he frequently went out. He was an outdoor cat. Then one time, he came home with several scratches and bruises. He was beaten by another male cat (probably).

Before neutering

From then on, he formed the habit of spraying urine into the corners of our rooms, doors and even to our dish organizer. Perhaps it was his only way to secure a safe territory for him, so he made our house his spraying base.

Though he did not exhibit this behavior before, we noticed the change when he was overpowered by male cats that were more alpha than him.

So, we decided to neuter our cat, and it did stop the urine spraying behavior. Aside from that, he got healthier.

After neutering

However, our cat's urine spraying behavior came back again when my other male cat escaped from his cage and attacked my neutered cat.

Perhaps the spraying behavior will resurface if your cat feels scared and unsafe even if they are neutered. So, the best course of action is not to make your cat exposed to possible danger. If you have other un-neutered cats at home, don't let them get close to your neutered cats.

Wow! This Hospital Has Its Very Own Therapy Cat

With the increasing pet-friendly establishments, we didn't think that animals can also be allowed in "sensitive" establishments such as hospitals.

But before you drew flak to this hospital, the UCSF Medical Center, that allows a cat to visit critically ill patients, they have already done the necessary measures such as hygiene precautions and allergy screening. (So don't go bitching about how "unsanitary" the cat is).

The cute furry cat is named as Duke Ellington. He is a tuxedo cat who loves to visit patients as well as the medical staff through riding his own cart. He is part of the UCSF's animal-assisted therapy programs.

Can Cats Be Vaccinated When They Are Sick?

When our pet cats are sick, we immediately think that the solution for it is vaccination. People often perceived that any medicine or vaccinations injected to their pets are something that would help cure their sickness. But this is actually wrong.

When cats are sick, vets will not administer vaccines to them. Yes, vaccinations are not allowed for sick cats, or any sick pets.

Why vaccinations are not allowed for sick cats

So, let me explain what's going on inside the body of your sick pet cat. When your pet cat is sick, its white blood cells (the cells that fight diseases and infection) are already busy fighting an enemy intruder (the current disease or sickness of your cat).

When you introduce vaccines to your sick pet cat, you are actually making your cat's sickness a lot worse. Why? Because inside the vaccines are dead or weakened actual viruses or bacteria.

Do you remember your microbiology class (if any)?

Vaccines help our body be immune to certain diseases because they actually contain small strains of the virus/bacteria of the disease itself.

For example, for humans, we are vaccinated with a polio vaccine to prevent us from developing polio. But in actuality, the polio vaccine contains the polio virus itself in small amounts.

We are introduced with minimal amounts of virus/bacteria in vaccines because it is preparing and teaching the body to fight the disease when encountered in the future.

That's same with cats.

However, when you inject vaccines to your pet cat while it is seriously ill, you are like sending enemy reinforcements to your cat's poor immune system.

You know that your cat's immune system is already busy fighting its current disease, then why send another army of virus/bacteria through vaccines?

You getting what I'm saying?


So when you have taken your sick pet cat to the vet, don't ask them to vaccinate your cat to save you a few vet trips. Even if you do so, your pet cat's vet won't allow it.
