Mentor Q&A

When I went to have my kitten spayed, the vet told me it was a male with a penis but no testicles. Then after surgery I was told they removed a floating ovary. They still insist it is a male even though no testicles were found. Is this possible?

We adopted 2 kittens at the same time - female 6 weeks old and male at 12 weeks old. They get along great. They are 100% indoor cats. The male was always the quieter of the 2 - the female was always moving & playing - never resting. We had the male declawed at 5 months - nothing changed on his personality. When the female was 5 months we had her spayed and declawed. The female personality has also changed - she seems very quiet and doesn't play nearly as hard as she use to. She actually now tries to hide from the male many times because he wants to play and she doesn't. It has been 4 weeks since her surgery and 3 weeks since they have been back home. They are both very healthy kittens. Any idea and will she get back to her "old" self?

My Kitten is 3 months old and is very hyper, I was wondering if when he gets fixed if he is going to calm down at all or if he will be the same?

Soon I will taking my kitten to the vet to be neutered. Is it safe to give it vaccinations, such as for rabies, at this same time?

We got our kitten from a shelter that had neutered him at two months. We are aware that a blocked urethra, a very serious problem, can be a result of this but we are not sure how to tell if a cat has this problem. What are the symptoms?

Is there a difference between the sexes as far as personality of either if it is to be neutered/spayed?
