Why Should Cats Be Neutered? Beneficial to Both Humans and Themselves
For cat owners, neutering cats can seem like a very cruel thing to do. Therefore, many owners are unwilling to neuter their cats, but this approach is actually very incorrect. Neutering cats offers many benefits, both for the cats themselves and for us owners. Next, the editor will explain why cats should be neutered.
First, from the cats' perspective. If a cat is not neutered, once it enters its heat period, it will feel great pain. When a cat feels this pain, it can become very aggressive. For male cats, many adverse reactions will occur in the body during the heat period. For female cats, if they are not neutered, each heat cycle will cause certain harm to their bodies, leading to diseases such as mastitis and pyometra, which endanger the cat’s health.
When cats experience heat, their emotions become very unstable. During this time, cats easily become tense and anxious. If we as owners neuter the cats, it greatly alleviates their tension and anxiety. It can help cats feel very relaxed and also effectively prevent some diseases.
From the owner’s perspective, if cats are not neutered, their feces during the heat period will be very foul-smelling. In addition, cats will make calls different from usual during heat, especially at night, and this sound can be very piercing and uncomfortable. This seriously affects our daily life. Moreover, because cats’ emotions are unstable, they might attack us. Therefore, for the sake of both the cats and ourselves, cats should be neutered. When neutering cats, it is important to take them to a reputable veterinary hospital to avoid infections during surgery. Generally, the neutering surgery cost does not exceed 1000 yuan, so urban residents need not worry about high costs.
