Can a neutered male cat make a female in heat drop her eggs?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Devon Rex | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 4 months old

My girl is in heat but my neutered moggy straddled her but not mated with her. Can this make her drop her eggs ? I have took my girl to a breeder to be mated up with her boy yesterday. Thankyou.

It's a little difficult to say. The female must be "induced" to ovulate, and without some kind of penetration (which I doubt your neutered boy was capable of) it seems a bit unlikely. However I would assume that being housed with an intact male should cause her to ovulate, once she allows him to mount.
