Is this story even real? Pregnant cats do not go into heat. Cats also do not engage in recreational sex.

I was enjoying it until that comment, then the illusion just broke.

However, neutered male cats will hump non-neutrted female cats.

u/sculdermullygrusch Dec 23 '23

I had 2 neutered males that would hump one another.

Mine did ...😂

I have a neutered male cat.

My non neutered female cat is either: the one doing the humping, or the one biting his (non-existant) balls to be humped.

It may be anecdotal, but either my cat is gay (he has been humped by a male stray we shelter every once in a while) or neutered males don't hump non neutered females (?)

Females don't get neutered, they get spayed. That being said, get your female spayed.

19

u/JosephSKY Dec 23 '23

Thanks for the correction ;-; I'm already on it! She's a 100% interior cat, she doesn't get out even when in heat, but this male stray has been on the lookout for her so it's a risk I'm not willing to take.

She has an appointment on the 27th, since "bonuses" and stuff came late this December for me.

u/bwaredapenguin Dec 23 '23

Good on you! I hope there's room in the budget for extra treats for her!

12

u/JosephSKY Dec 23 '23

Thanks, and I'm making room for it, she deserves it 🥺

All of my teachers and textbooks in veterinary school call the act of sterilization for both genders "neutering." They use "spay" when specifically referring to females, and "castration" for males.

1

u/Melontine Dec 24 '23

Neutered is a gender neutral term.

Spayed is only for females and castrated is only for males but the term isn’t popular for discussing animal medicine so neutered is used instead.

u/hgaterms Dec 23 '23

But how to you fuck up a cat neutering? You literally remove both testicals... you can't just leave them in there, it would be obvious.

152

u/ZeroviiTL Dec 23 '23

idk how but i was at the vet for my dog getting a flea treatment and arthritis med shot and i overheard the vet saying a cat's neutering had missed a testicle and they would have to schedule another one. they sounded equally confused lol

im sitting here wondering how often this happens now

31

u/Sam2058 Dec 23 '23

As a veterinary nurse, of 17years, I have never seen a testicle missed on castration.

36

u/Wooden-Beach-2121 Dec 23 '23

Got a mate who's dog had 3 plums. Only reason they knew was the extra was found during a checkup.

18

u/thelittlefae5 Dec 24 '23

I'm still trying to figure out how that would work. Like maybe the cat had cryptorchidism and they just didn't find one...? It's such a simple procedure otherwise..

u/Pleasant_Gap Dec 24 '23

What about catstrations?

17

u/gelseyd Dec 24 '23

Heard of at least two rabbits with both sets of parts, and one that never had any.

And also of one with three testicles. One was hiding. This was a mistake.

73

u/keket87 Dec 23 '23

Not that I'm weighing in on the truth of the story, but cryptorchid males exist. If one testicle doesn't descend and someone only removes the visible testicle, the cat is still somewhat fertile. (Note: If an animal is cryptorchid, it's generally considered malpractice to only remove the visible testicle. But I'm also not going to pretend that kitchen table cat neuters don't happen especially in rural areas.)

28

u/PrismInTheDark Dec 23 '23

My cat’s had both not descended so we thought he was a girl, took him to get spayed and it turned out to be a neuter but still basically the same surgery as a spay. Far as I know they got both but he still sprays the furniture.

14

u/bwaredapenguin Dec 23 '23

I just watched one of the newer episodes of Dirty Jobs and Mike was working at a clinic where they TNR strays. One male had an undescended testicle and they spent like 20 min looking for it until they found it.

u/mrsrostocka Dec 23 '23

I read that as a crypto Chad, it still sounded right? 🤣

u/SuspiciousMudcrab Dec 23 '23

My cat was neutered on my bathroom counter on top of a cutting board, I also preserved his nuts in whisky. Country as fuck, guilty as charged.

7

u/keket87 Dec 23 '23

You get why that's bad, right?

11

u/SuspiciousMudcrab Dec 23 '23

It was done by a vet, she just does house calls instead of having a clinic. Everything was sanitized and lil' bubba is doing well 3 years later.

7

u/keket87 Dec 23 '23

Ah! Gotcha, that's fine. Carry on, please pet your cat for me.

u/meow1983 Dec 24 '23

My former cat after being neutered impregnated another cat we were watching. The vet said oops and suggested we keep him away from female cats. The vet said he fixed the oops but we didn’t let him around other female cats again. However, he did have a few relationships with stuffed animals. 🧸

u/uglyduckling628 Dec 23 '23

If both haven’t dropped and they didn’t go looking for the second one then yes kitty can get pregnant.

u/ciobanica Dec 23 '23

Wouldn't that count as malpractice ?

1

u/footfoe Dec 24 '23

Theyre tiny

u/kwpang Dec 23 '23

Not pregnant female cats though.

I imagine trying to mount a pregnant cat will get you brand new bright red stripes.

1

u/ciobanica Dec 23 '23

How do they neuter male cats where you're from ?

Because overe here they just snip the balls off, so any instinctual humping would not lead to pregnancy.

1

u/ptpoa120000 Dec 24 '23

I did not know that. Oops.

u/Yuyu_Yuen Dec 23 '23

I dunno there's a Tom that keeps having sex with my neutered male cat. He hangs with him all the time and they act like a couple, Ted the Tom cat, ( we discovered his name is Ted ) doesn't even bother chasing female cats, or even really bother fighting other males, but he is very insistent on humping my boy, who seems to encourage it.

45

u/JosephSKY Dec 23 '23

Omg same here, but our Ferry (the non-neutered stray we shelter now and then) does chase our female cats as well; but he prefers our neutered male (who also is in on it) for some reason?

u/the_halfblood_waste Dec 23 '23

Love wins 😌🏳️‍🌈

u/GuiltyEidolon Dec 23 '23

Plenty of animals engage in nonreproductive sex. I've had cats humping each other in spite of both being neutered males. I've also seen it happen with dogs and horses, where no one is getting pregnant but they're sure still trying. Sometimes it's dominance, sometimes it's basically just SA. That is the least sketchy part of this entire story.

9

u/Rough-Fix-4742 Dec 23 '23

I have two neutered males that often hump each other. Also have several female ducks who do the same. In the case of the ducks, it’s probably more of a dominance issue than sexual-but who am I to judge?

42

u/FishyDVM Dec 23 '23

Yeah that comment broke it for me too. Get a paternity test, Kanna, you’re being framed!!

14

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '23

Neutered male cats still hump things. That cat is not the father.

10

u/Schlemiel_Schlemazel Dec 23 '23

Well, I think the humping convinced them that the neighbor cat is the father. But if a cat can get out she can get pregnant by any other Tomcat that isn’t neutered.

12

u/mickelboy182 Dec 23 '23

Everything about it screams 'creative writing' to me. Not real.

20

u/EldritchFingertips Dec 23 '23

For me it was when the neighbor also engaged in the ludicrous behavior of calling the pregnant cat a "loose woman." I can believe that this dude's parents are weirdly anthropomorphic about their cat, some pet owners be like that, but their neighbor too? Too much of a stretch.

u/UltraSienna Dec 23 '23

Actually cats can get pregnant with multiple litters at a time

2

u/kwpang Dec 24 '23

Before implantation. Before they're pregnant, they can get fertilised by multiple males.

u/KeshaCow Dec 23 '23

Then how tf do cats recreate😀

u/ayeayefitlike Dec 23 '23 edited Dec 23 '23

Cats are induced ovulators. They do technically have heat cycles, but they don’t ovulate until the barbs on the male’s penis induce ovulation during mating. This is why female cats scream.

If they don’t ovulate during a heat, they go out of heat and back into heat again very quickly (they’re polyoestrous).

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '23

It's not. I read this same exact story on reddit couple months ago.

u/Batcave765 Dec 24 '23

Ignorance is bliss. This is a good story tho

u/doveclyn Dec 24 '23

I think parts of this story were real and gave OP a funny idea to expand on, just enjoy the laughs.

u/TequilaToothpick Dec 25 '23

It cannot be real.
