Question for Male Cat Owners...

It is worth noting though that male cats that are neutered later in life can often keep up the spraying habit. I think my vet said it's something like 15 or 20% of them never stop it completely.

Just an update for everyone... We brought him HOME! :D His name at the Humane Society was Tarzan, and we decided to keep it that way :) He's a very good boy and very laid back - which suits our household perfectly! Here are some pic's of him from the shelter - I'll snap some of him once he settles in a bit. Just want to say thanks to everyone for their help again, this community rocks :gj:

*whoops sorry for the dbl post*

Awww...he's gorgeous! Congrats on adopting a kitty! I know you have your answer on the urine smell, but wanted to comment that my two boy cats' (I only have the two) urine smells no different then when I had a female cat. The "spray" is what smells, but being neutered will drastically reduce (if not totally eliminate) the possibility of spraying. My boys were both neutered young (2 months & 4 months) and neither ever got into spraying.

What a sweet face!! I'm in love with him!

Congrats! :banana: Hope all goes well. :)

(The male cat I currently own lives outside, so it's kind of hard to tell. But I have previously owned other males and we didn't have a problem with them. They were all neutered.)

Tarzan is very cute! And as far as your question...I grew up with three female cats (all of whom died of old age while I was in college) and now have three male cats. The only difference I've noticed is that they have much stinkier poop. My conclusion: boys are stinky.:weirdface

But no, I haven't noticed a difference as far as urine. One of the male cats was neutered a little later in life, and even he never sprays anything.
