Is there a way to tell if a stray has been spayed?

I know in dogs there is a slight line where the incision was made in spaying cause the hair grows back slightly different. When Lil' Bear comes back around after she gets over her indifference in having her flea drops applied, I'll check to see if she has the same type of line and let you know, k.

I suggest you keep an eye on this cat if you haven't taken it in yet, though, it might prove difficult. Whereas females go into heat often, two things you can look out for are 1) a lot of males hanging around hollering and 2) the cat you're interested in squats alot a wriggles her hind quarters. Both of these indicate a female in heat and so you would know what gender the cat is AND that it hasn't been fixed yet. PS: I only suggest this if it is impossible for you to catch the cat and take it to the vet. This is important because you not only want to find out if the cat has been spayed/newtered but also what ailments the cat may have.

If th ecat happens to be a male then it would be rather obvious whether ir not he has beed neutered. If she is a girl there should be a small scar around their lower abdomen. Now I don't know how the opereation is performed where you are, but around here everything like that is done laproscopically(very small incision site) so the scar might be hard to find. your best bet would be to have your vet take a look at her for a definitive answer.

Somtimes there is a knick in the ear. Depending on what side the knick is determines whether male or female.
