    I am starting to suspect that Ted Cat has not been separated from his balls. He is stinky ( male cat type stinky ) and his little scrotum hasn’t shrunk like I thought it would. Thankfully he is not spraying. I checked his papers again and it says desexed but that might be a lie. I will give it another week and then it’s off to Lort Smith to get tranks so I can handle and transport him and see what is going on.

        ayup, all three of ours have them. (also a mate who got a vasectomy, the absolute legend)

        They do, Kit kat had one and Sammi has one, not sure if Topes ever did and I’d have to check Zooks.

          So Mr Seagoon noticed I’ve been looking at his ears a bit funny, don’t remember seeing anything, still can’t see anything. 🤭

      I know several toms that have definitely been deballed, but their sacs still look present. Seems to be a variant cat thing. The stank needs a look at though.

          Punkin got neutered as soon as he was weaned, so we don’t get stankcat (bar one time when Misha had some misplaced aggression and I think he was more terrified by the fact his butt did that), but Cerys occasionally has her anal glands get epic af. Truly a delight (SARCASM HEAVILY IMPLIED)

      I assume Ted Cat is no kitten, cos if he was then his balls may not have descended far enough when the neutering was done. He may have had a cryptorchid too. It does sound like whoever neutered him did a very poor job of it. Maybe hurried, or maybe the paperwork was done but not the neutering. He’s purebred, isn’t he, even though he’s a rescue? Is that on his papers?

        yes, he’s a purebred catzilla, aka nebelung. The paperwork says neutered.

      Neutered fellas can still spray and get stinky, it might be the new environment upsetting him, so he’s letting everyone know who’s boss. As for the ball’s situation, my dudes are still very visible because of his colouring/markings.
