unneutered
Capable of reproducing
Unneutered describes an animal that has not been surgically sterilized—retaining its reproductive organs and capacity to breed.
The term applies most often to male cats and dogs: an unneutered male cat will spray to mark territory.
The equivalent for females is unspayed, though unneutered sometimes covers both sexes.
