It has been established that in part (13 %) of cats who have undergone ovariohysterectomy, sexual devotions are restored with time. In determining the levels of sex hormones in the blood of this group of animals, a high content of progesterone, 7 times higher than the level of a hormone in the blood corresponding to its content in intact animals, was found. The revealed behavioral and hormonal changes together with the presence of a clear correlation between them are an indication of the presence of luteal tissue in the body and the development of such a negative effect of ovariohysterectomy as the ovarian remnant syndrome. The preliminary diagnosis of the ovarian remnant syndrome in sterilized cats with restored manifestations of sexual hunting was fully confirmed by the results of the determination of the level of anti-Mullerian hormone in the blood of animals.
