Although male cats are not at risk of unwanted pregnancies like female cats, they also need to be neutered. Do you know what changes have occurred after a male cat has been neutered, in addition to losing its fertility?
Behavioural changes
No more impulsive fights like before
Before neutering, the male hormones in the male cat are more vigorous, and the aggression will be stronger, and if you stay with other male cats, it is easy to fight.
After neutering, the level of male hormones in the body decreases, and the male cat's aggression also decreases, and he is no longer as aggressive as before, and he wants to attack other cat partners at every turn.
No more open defecation like before
Before neutering, the male cat will release the signal of courtship by peeing, the cat's urine smell is very strong, even if you mop it clean, you can still faintly smell a smell, very uncomfortable.
After neutering, male cats rarely have the idea of courtship, so they will no longer pee as before, and the owner will be able to get rid of the smell of urine.
A change in personality
Become quieter and less frequent
Before neutering, the male cat's temperament will be more noisy, and he will be very energetic all day long, either parkour at home, or try to mistreat and dismantle the house.
After neutering, the male cat seems to have grown up all of a sudden, becoming quieter and more docile, usually not thinking about dismantling the house, and will become more clingy, looking forward to the owner's petting.
Become more well-behaved and not always think about running away from home
Before neutering, if there is no female cat at home, the male cat will want to go out of the window to find a mate when it is in heat, and if the owner blocks it, it will "howl" loudly, which is very annoying.
After neutering, the male cat will no longer be in heat, and he will lose interest in finding the female cat, and he usually does not think about how to sneak out of the door, and the whole cat is a lot more well-behaved.
Physical changes
Reduces the chance of getting sick and gets better physique
Before neutering, male cats will have a high probability of suffering from urinary diseases, once the disease occurs, the cat is painful, and the owner will also spend a lot of money.
After neutering, the probability of male cats getting sick will decrease, their physique will become better, and the average life expectancy of cats after "egg removal" will be about one or two years longer than before.
If you want the cat's physique to be better, the owner usually takes the cat to exercise and play together, after all, exercise can also enhance the physique. If the "little lazy cat" in the family is always reluctant to exercise, the owner can use a snack reward to attract the kitten to exercise.
Without the trouble of estrus, the appetite becomes better
Before neutering, male cats are in estrus, and they are prone to loss of appetite, even if they eat well, they will not grow meat, gradually lose weight, and look very pitiful.
After neutering, there is no trouble in estrus, and the male cat's appetite will become better, and he eats big every day, and the pet owner looks particularly reassured.
After the male cat has been neutered, the body will be weaker and there will be a loss of nutrients, so during the recovery period after the operation, the pet owner can feed the cat some nutritious cat food to help the cat supplement nutrition and better postoperative recovery.
