What neutralizes skunk spray?

To neutralize skunk spray, the most effective method is a homemade solution of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap, which chemically breaks down the oily, smelly thiols in the spray, unlike tomato juice or vinegar which only mask the odor. For pets, apply the mixture (1 quart peroxide, ¼ cup baking soda, 1-2 tsp soap) carefully, let it sit, then rinse thoroughly; avoid eyes and heat. For the house, use vinegar rinses or bowls of vinegar to absorb odors, and wash clothes in cold water with detergent, air-drying outside.

Are cat balls removed during neutering?

Yes, neutering a male cat (also called castration) involves surgically removing the testicles to prevent reproduction and reduce hormone-driven behaviors like spraying and roaming, although the empty scrotal sac (ball sack) is usually left intact, which is why it might still appear present after the procedure. The vet makes small incisions in the scrotum, removes the testes, ties off the cords, and often closes the incisions with surgical glue or minimal stitches.

Can a spayed cat go into heat?

No, a properly spayed cat should not go into heat, but if she shows heat signs, it's usually due to Ovarian Remnant Syndrome (ORS), where leftover ovarian tissue produces hormones, or rarely, adrenal tumors, requiring a vet visit for diagnosis and removal of the remnant. This functioning tissue causes behaviors like yowling and posturing, but the cat can't get pregnant as the uterus is gone.
