It is not uncommon for domestic cats to be castrated as soon as they leave adolescence. Their owners probably remember that the behavior of an animal that has not yet fully recovered from anesthesia may be inadequate. This is not scary, it is only important to watch the cat so that he does not injure himself and does not damage the seam.
If a kitten that has appeared in your house is of no value as a purebred breeder, then when it reaches 7-8 months, you should think about its castration. It's not just that 9 out of 10 non-castrated puberty cats begin to leave disgusting-smelling tags everywhere. In addition to this, a cat can simply run far from home in search of a female, and anything can happen on the street - dogs will attack, a car hit, and you never know what else. Therefore, if you want your pet to live a long and happy life in your home, it is better to castrate it when it reaches adulthood.
Cat behavior immediately after castration
First of all, pay attention to the fact that the body temperature of the animal after castration drops by several degrees, which is a consequence of anesthesia. The cat needs to be heated, so take it home carefully wrapped in a warm blanket. When it arrives home, it is best to lay the animal on the floor near a battery or other safe source of heat.
When the effect of anesthesia begins to weaken, the cat gradually wakes up. At first, he barely moves, then crawls and, finally, tries to get up on his paws. For some time after castration, the coordination of the animal is severely impaired, so keep an eye on it. The cat may fall or be injured, so restrict its movement and calm the animal.
You can give your cat a drink 4-5 hours after the operation. As for feeding, the cat will surely vomit if he eats on the day of the operation. Therefore, do not feed the cat earlier than the next day.
Cat's life after castration
The vast majority of cats after castration become more affectionate and playful. In some cases, the cat can gain weight, therefore, the owner of the cat may have to take a more responsible attitude to the animal's diet.
The life of a castrated cat is no worse than the life of a breeding animal, on the contrary, timely castration solves many problems and facilitates the coexistence of a cat and its owners.
