Hi it's new girl Kim again with another question...
I've been doing some reading and saw that you can't always tell if a female has been spayed because there might not be a scar. Well I have this cat (Phoebe)the humane society estimates to be about 11 mos. They said she was not spayed. They also tols me (after I got her home) that she came in with a male cat and could be pregnant but they didn't see anything. Well she doesn't look pg to me and I made an appt for her Tues. morning. Anywhoo, yesterday I adopted George, a 7month old (gorgeous) himalayan and I am keeping them separated because he too is unaltered. Well one of my husbands idiot friends opened the door to where Phoebe was and the cats got to meet @@$$
Well, nothing happened. I'm not sure if something should have happened that soon but Phoebe has zero interest in George other than to try out his food, lol! I separated them again right away.
How soon after two unaltered animals meet will they 'do the deed'? Also I heard that just being around the male could send her into heat...anyone heard this? And last but not least...is there a way to tell if she's been altered before initiating AND paying for surgery again?
Thanks and Happy Mother's Day to all!
