    My one cat Joey, he supposed to be neuter. We got him done at the Humane Society where we adopted him from. Only payed $10 to get him done there. The Vet didn't shaved his fur but instead they cut his fur. Ever since he has been neuter, he has never gain any weight. Toby and Sabrina have gain weight after they have been fix. Most cats do. He stills humps a little bit. Is this normal? Do you think they did his neuter wrong? Joey is a longer hair cat? Do you think it will shorten his life span if they did him wrong. Thanks!! Please let me know!!

    hmmmm does he have anything left back there?
    I know my vet, when he does a neuter, leaves the sack (this is so embarrassing) but "scoops" the sack empty (guys don't read this). So I was confused when Zeus was neutered cause he came home with the "boys" but they were empty.
    I think most vets remove everything.
    So if your little fella hasn't got any stuff back there he's neutered for sure. But if he does he could still be neutered but just not have the equipment.
    Some cats hump as a dominance thing. He could simply be doing that

    lol Mary.

    The way we did it was to actually pluck the hair just off the little sack, then make an insicion and squeeze em out like little grapes. i could go into more detail about how to actuallt do the operation *coughs* but thats not needed i guess.

    It was bad of the vet tho to not remove the hair. It's practise to remove the hair simply so none gets into the insicion once it's made and possibly cause infection down the road.

    Some cats wont gain weight. My little Razberry for example hasnt gained an extra ounce to him. My other cat well. we'll just say he's 'big boned' in case he's listening. ;)

    Mary's right about the humping thing, dont worry about that.

    That's how Romeo was done but he's long haired so the sacks aren't all that noticeable. But when we first took Ghost in, you could really see them and I didn't bother squeezing them :oops: so I just assumed he was fully intact (although he didn't act like an intact male). But when we took him to the vet to be looked over, he did feel them and assured us he was in fact neutered.

    Anyway, back on topic . . . Romeo is a turkish van and that breed can take 3 - 5 years to fully mature. He was 1 year old when we adopted him and got him neutered and he's a little over 2 now. He's still very lean and hasn't filled out yet because he's still not done maturing. He's right around 9 lbs and male turkish vans average 12 - 16 lbs (he's kind of like a lanky teen boy).

    As long as Joey is still acting okay and doesn't appear to be sick or have an infection, I wouldn't worry too much. But I would keep a close eye on the incision site.
