The main purpose of neutering cats is not to restrict their mating, but to control the number of cats and for their health.
Cats in heat are really annoying.
Male cats will most likely urinate randomly after they are in estrus, and the smell is particularly unpleasant, while female cats will meow all night long. Anyone who has ever raised a cat will know this.
So I came up with the idea of neutering my own cat, but my conditions were limited. Should I do it for a male cat or a female cat?
If conditions don’t allow, just do it for the female cat.
Why is this? Let me elaborate.
Cat's estrus period
Adult female cats will start to go into estrus during a specific period. Anyone who has raised a female cat knows that when a female cat is in estrus, she will bark every day and emit the smell of estrus, attracting male cats, and It doesn't end in a few days. After a few days of estrus, it will enter a new round of estrus.
When it was the male cat's turn, he smelled the female cat's scent and began to secrete hormones.
If the male cat is at home, he will become restless and unable to resist going out. He will start leaning against the window and keep walking around the balcony, waiting for the time to go out. If the cat goes out at this time, he may also Can't come back.
After going out, he urinates and leaves marks everywhere. This is also to attract the special smell of female cats. However, this smell is difficult to wash off. It can only be washed away with baking soda.
If a cat is kept in a small dark room for a long time, it will lose its appetite and stop eating and drinking. Moreover, male cats are always in estrus.
Disadvantages of not sterilizing
Cats are animals that stimulate ovulation. In human terms, they must be stimulated by mating to achieve the purpose of ovulation. If they do not do sports or mate as adults, cats will be in a state of spending money for a long time. It comes one after another, and the natural state has a high chance of causing disease in the cat's reproductive system.
Especially in female cats, the uterus and vaginal opening are in a parallel position, so it is easy to accumulate fluid and cause inflammation, and pyometra is a very common one.
Based on the above, let the female cat be neutered first, and find a good surgeon to ensure that the operation is clean and there is no ovarian residue. Also, try to neuter the female cat before the first heat to prevent habitual behavior.
Post-processing of sterilization.
Neutered cats are more likely to have urinary diseases, such as urethritis or anuria. Cats need to be fed something to protect the urinary system. The second step is to eat less freeze-dried and drink more water. Be sure to drink more. Drink plenty of water.
In short
sterilizing cats fundamentally reduces their health risks and is good for their health.
