Hello! It is common for cats to chew at their genital regions when they have UTIs; I'm sorry to hear that Morgoth went through that. Has he had a recheck appointment to be sure the infection is gone? If not, I would recommend pursuing that to ensure he is at peak health for breeding performance. They can talk to you about testing his sperm quality, finding a queen of appropriate health, and what breed testing is recommended for him. The spikes you are seeing on his penis are a normal part of feline anatomy. They are used during mating. From the picture alone, I don't see any reason for him to be unable to breed. I hope you find this helpful! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
