Why does my cat have erections after being neutered? Is it normal?

Question

I have an 11 month old cat who’s never gone outside or has never had sex. He got neutered 4 days ago and I’ve noticed that his penis keeps popping out despite it never really being out before the neutered. He tries to lick it but I always discourage it. Is this normal? He seems to be healing well, there’s nothing else out of character, he eats and goes to the restroom normally, it’s just the erections that keep happening.

Yes, this can be normal. It could be Draco may have been doing this before, but you simply didn't notice, and now that you are paying closer attention to him due the fact he was neutered, you seeing this behavior. As long as everything else is normal, he's going to the litter box normally, this isn't an issue. It would be an issue if he was crying when he tried to pee, you saw blood in his urine, he was attempting to pee but could not, was going to the litter box multiple times in a short period of time, was peeing in small amounts frequently, and/or was very lethargic. If you see any of those signs, then it's an emergency and he would need to see a vet immediately. At this point in time, I do think what you are seeing is normal behavior, however. I hope this helps!

We have been home with our new little guy for about 8 hours and he is eating and drinking lots but he has not peed or pooped at all. He has gotten into the litter box twice and acted like he was peeing but I could not find any clumps when he got out.
