Answer: Only male cats spray so you won't have any trouble with your female cat.Answer:Actually, both genders will, and do, spray. An intact (not neutered) female cat usually doesn't spray as much as an intact male, but they will spray to advertise themselves to any passing male that they are on heat and ready to mate.If your cat is spayed, and hasn't got any history of spraying, then it is very unlikely that she will spray at all.
