Sterilization is the removal of a cat's reproductive organs. Today this operation is highly recommended for all animals not involved in the breeding process. Sterilization can solve not only health problems, but also correct the behavior of a pet.
Instructions
Step 1
Usually the term "neuter" is applied to female felines. A similar operation for males is called castration. In cats, the uterus and ovaries are removed, and the testes are removed in cats. Both procedures are performed under general anesthesia. Modern advances in surgery keep complications to a minimum. After the operation, cats quickly come to their senses and do not experience any discomfort in the future. Sometimes the sutures are removed, but nowadays, absorbable suture materials are increasingly used, which do not require a repeated visit to the clinic.
Step 2
Cat owners note that after spaying, pets begin to behave more calmly. Sudden mood swings disappear when periods of apathy are replaced by violent activity. The cat becomes more balanced and friendly towards other pets and people. She responds more actively to affection, demonstrates affection for the owner.
Step 3
Changes in mood are especially noticeable in males. Uncastrated cats are characterized by aggression, they can bite, scratch, provoke fights. After sterilization, the animals become much calmer. Cats stop splashing urine, leaving marks on walls and furniture. Animals do not seek to run away from home, which means they are less likely to get lost or get injured. Sterilization removes the problem of oncological diseases, and also reduces the risk of urolithiasis.
Step 4
After surgery, cats become more affectionate and attentive. Many females lose their maternal instinct, they do not show interest in other people's kittens and other cubs. Cats stop screaming shrilly, calling for partners. Felinologists note that spayed animals pay more attention to their fur. If there are several cats in the house, they can spend hours licking each other.
Step 5
Sometimes the owners fear that neutering will make the pets inert, boring, interested only in sleep and food. This is not true. The operated cats retain interest in games, they enjoy communicating with owners and other pets. To keep your cat from gaining weight, feed her balanced foods formulated for neutered animals. They are distinguished by a moderate amount of protein and a high percentage of fiber, which aids in good digestion. Do not feed your cat delicacies from your own table, it is harmful not only for her figure, but also for her health.
