With the development of society and the pace of the economy, people's lives have become enriched. Many people like to raise some pets at home, such as dogs and cats. Cats are mammals, divided into domestic cats and feral cats. Cats are one of the most widely loved pets in the world today. When people see cats, they naturally develop a fondness for them; they are cute, gentle, sometimes a little aloof, graceful at times, and playful at others.

However, in some cat-keeping households, there are always some problems that leave people helpless. One of the issues is: What should be done when a male cat is in heat? When a male cat encounters the heat period, they tend to spray urine randomly. This so-called random urination is completely different from normal cat urination. They do not urinate for the sake of urinating but to mark their territory. During the heat period, male cats will stand on their two legs, raise their tail high, then spray urine on vertical objects, with tail twitching. Male cats in heat are different from female cats in heat.

A male cat in heat can be given a suitable mate to satisfy the physiological needs required during the heat period. If the owner does not want the cat to go into heat, it is recommended to take the cat to the veterinary hospital early for neutering surgery.

If a male cat often cannot mate, it will cause great harm to the cat's reproductive organs. Their reproductive organs may appear congested, causing reproductive inflammation, and it could also cause urinary retention. Urinary retention for one day can lead to uremia or acute renal failure, which would cause severe harm to the cat.

During the male cat's heat period, the cat's emotions also become restless. They will try every means to leave home and look for a mating partner outside. At night, the cat will also howl randomly, disturbing people and making it difficult to sleep peacefully.

If the cat does not mate during heat, it will repeatedly appear intermittently. Over time, the intervals between heats will shorten, and the cat’s condition will become more and more serious.

Of course, neutering is not the only method to address a male cat in heat. For example, owners can play more with the cat and use cat toys to distract the cat’s attention. During the cat’s heat period, the owner does not need to bathe the cat.
