Hi all,

I am taking my girl to the vets on Wednesday but wanted to know if anyone has experienced this: basically we ended up with a lockdown kitten and we couldn't get her neutered due to lockdown and then other things kept cropping up so we were waiting until things settled down to take her, I didn't think this was a big deal (as in waiting a couple of months) as all my other cats are neutered (as far as I knew) but she came on heat and my ginger cat did the deed with her and she stopped howling (ginger cat was rehomed from a friend who said they he was neutered) but now my female cat looks fatter and has two lumps on her belly where her boobs would be if she was human (weird analogy but not sure how else to explain it) could this be a sign or should I not worry yet? We asked said friend of ginge is really neutered and they replied "should be" so I do have my doubts but these lumps are worrying regardless. Just wondering if anyone knew or had expirences with something similar?

(She won't let me look at her nipples, she tries to get away if I touch her tummy)

This was meant to be on litter tray! Sorry, I'll ask mods to move it

I think your cat is about to have kittens.

Surely you can tell if a male cat is neutered or not?

@sunflowersandbuttercups

Surely you can tell if a male cat is neutered or not?
Honestly, I thought you could tell with their testicles but my other male cat still has them and he's defo been done so embarrassingly I don't know how to tell, can you tell me what to look for please?, just so I can check and that'll give me an idea whether my female is pregnant or not

He won't still have his testicles if he's been neutered, he'll have the sac there but no actual balls. You should be able to tell by feeling them.

Our 6yo has his ball sac but no testicles whereas the kitten (who gets neutered Thursday) has definite balls there Grin

Did not expect to be discussing my cats balls on a Monday morning Blush

How long ago did she mate? And yes, of course she's pregnant. But if it wasn't too long ago she can have an abortion and spay at the same time.

Medivet are definitely doing the op no waiting list as far as I know.
