Question
I neutered my male before the female got her first heat and I am waiting until she is one and a half to spay her (bigger organs, less complications in surgery...). I wonder if there is a way to raise his interest and if it would calm her down.
Answer
Firstly, I don't think there is a way to raise his testosterone in a safe way. Once he's neutered, he's neutered. Secondly, this would not be advised as there's no saying that she would pick him as a mate anyway. In fact, she probably wouldn't since he would have lowered testosterone levels and the female cat will only mate with a male that is "desirable" that she thinks would produce good offspring. Lower levels of testosterone would pretty much eliminate him as a contender.So it probably would not calm her down. Lastly, once your female has had her first heat, it is considered safe to get her spayed anyway. In fact, it is considered safe even before that but once she's had her first heat, you know for sure that it's safe to spay her. So if you get her spayed now, you won't have to worry about that anymore anyway. And you definitely should get her spayed now because some cats when they're in heat will do everything they can to get out of the house and find a mate and then you'll end up with a bunch of unplanned kittens!
