To tell if a male cat is neutered, check for absence of testicles behind the penis. Neutered males typically don’t have visible testicles, while intact males have a noticeable, firm scrotal sac. If unsure, a vet can provide confirmation. Behavioral signs like decreased territorial marking and aggression can also indicate neutering.
