In today's society, many families like to keep pets. Cats are gentle and cute animals, one of the popular pets chosen by many families, very suitable for home living. Cats, like humans, have physiological needs. Many cat owners find cats troublesome during their heat period and thus choose to neuter them, but some owners do not neuter their cats. So, what happens if a male cat is not neutered?

Male cats tend to urinate anywhere during their heat period; this behavior is only to mark territory and let other female cats smell their scent. When cats are in heat, they like to raise their legs and urinate on vertical objects. At night, they also may howl. If a male cat is not neutered, it will go into heat when it smells a female cat in heat. Cat heat is irregular, and if the cat cannot mate, it feels very uncomfortable. If the male cat tries to find a female but is prevented, it may stop eating and drinking, hold in urine, and start getting sick, which causes many problems.

The heat period for male cats is quite long. If the owner does not neuter the male cat, they need to regularly find healthy and suitable female cats for it. Speaking from the cat's perspective, whether male or female, going through the heat period without neutering is very painful for the cat.

For male cats, not mating during heat can make them aggressive and irritable. Over time, this can have very negative effects on the male cat. Not neutering a male cat will cause frequent howling during heat and constant attempts to leave home. In severe cases, the cat might even jump from high places and develop urinary system diseases. Long periods without mating can also cause reproductive organ infections, leading to redness, swelling, bleeding, and inability to urinate. Neutering a male cat is a minor surgery to remove the testicles, but for the cat's safety, owners should take their cats to qualified hospitals for neutering surgery.
