Many owners can not decide to deprive their pet of "male dignity". The most common reason is reluctance (by the way, absurd) to cause him a moral trauma. On the second place there are possible complications after castration of a cat. We'll talk about them in this article.
What will change?
Advising the owners of the animal before the operation, veterinarians emphasize that the behavior of cats after castration usually changes for the better: they are made more affectionate , tame, playful, domestic, they no longer want to jump out into the street and prove who is in the house of the owners. However, in a number of cases, the opposite situation arises: the cat after castration becomes aggressive, timid, nervous. If he continues to attack other animals, bites, reluctantly goes to his hands, the explanation is likely to lie in the untimely conduct of the operation.
The ideal period for the removal of the gonads in cats is the age from eleven months to two years. In addition, surgical intervention is recommended to be carried out before your furry friend knows all the pleasures of sexual life. If, after castration, the cat continues to yell, it means that he already had sexual contacts, and now testosterone continues to be produced - though not by testes, but by the pituitary gland. This, as a rule, explains the fact that after castration the cat marks the territory and generally behaves the same way as before it. Unfortunately, in this case getting rid of the problems will be much more difficult.
Features of care
