Do Cats Get PMT?

Molly cat is in a very bad mood. She has been scratchy (I use the word advisedly) for the last two days. I suddenly wondered: could she have PMT?

Molly is, of course, 'done': in other words, she has been permanently stopped from having kittens. However, what I do not know is whether ovaries are removed when female cats are neutered. If not, then she is quite possibly pre-menstrual and I might have to learn to live with that in my cat. It seems bizarre, but it is certainly possible. Please, does anybody know?

In the mean time, what do I do about the fact that every time I pet her we start with happy purring and end with nips and scratches? It really is getting too much. All advice gratefully accepted.
