People who have some interest in pets will find that while many pets share common traits, there are still significant differences. For example, pet dogs and pet cats, although both commonly kept pets, have different diets, living habits, and if placed in the same room, they might even quarrel. Most people support breeding for pet dogs but advocate for neutering cats, which is their biggest difference. Many people do not understand the benefits neutering brings to cats. Today, let's learn why cats need to be neutered?

Actually, neutering is a very beneficial surgery for cats. It does not significantly harm their bodies; it only requires removing the ovaries and uterus in female cats, and the testicles in male cats. The surgery process is not complicated, and as long as good care is taken after the operation, it will not greatly affect their later life. Neutering is to avoid frequent breeding and is a necessary measure to prevent them from going into heat. After cats give birth, the kittens are not just one but a litter, and the owner may not have the economic means to raise a bunch of kittens. Therefore, many kittens are abandoned outside in reality, so reducing this harm from the source is the only solution.

Generally, the best time to neuter is before a cat's first heat, so the cat will not experience any pregnancy reactions. After the neutering surgery, cats require long-term convalescence and care to prevent wound infections, so they should not roam around during this time. Most cats tend to gain weight during this period, so owners should control their food intake and encourage appropriate exercise to help them recover better.

Many owners do not understand this surgery, but they should view this issue from the cat's perspective. The cost of raising a litter of kittens is very high, and if one cannot bear these consequences, neutering is recommended. It does not have significant negative effects on the owner or the cat and can reduce some of the pain cats experience from pregnancy-related reactions later on.
