When is it better for male cats to be sterilized?
The best sterilization time should be when the cat is 6 months old. At this time, the cat had been vaccinated and operated before sexual maturity. At this time, the cat is full of physical strength, and the operation recovers quickly, which has the least damage to the cat and is the safest.
Benefits of sterilization
1, because of hormone problems, cats that are not neutered have a serious sense of territory, and are prone to defecation disorder and are more aggressive. It is difficult to correct the behavior of defecating everywhere once it becomes a habit. Even after sterilization, some adult cats will still urinate because they have formed a habit. Until six months to a year after sterilization, hormones will gradually improve.
2. Cats are easy to run away from home during estrus, anxious and irritable, and want to go out. It is easy to conflict with other same-sex cats, and the chances of suffering from leukemia and cat AIDS increase.
3. When in estrus, cats will obviously lose appetite and lose weight, especially female cats. Hair is greasy, and male cats are prone to greasy tails. The skin will fester when the tail is serious.
4. Prevent cats from getting pregnant. It's not easy to take care of kittens. In addition, female cats still have life-threatening health hazards such as abortion, stillbirth and dystocia during pregnancy and childbirth.
5. Effectively reduce reproductive system diseases such as female cat breast cancer and uterine empyema. Testicular cancer, prostate cancer and reproductive system diseases of male cats will be introduced in detail later.
6. If the male cat has abdominal cryptorchidism, it needs to be surgically removed in time, otherwise it will affect life safety.
