It does not matter who lives in your home: striped yard "murt" or proud beauty Siamese; in any case, you will someday have to think about sterilization. This term is used to describe the abdominal operation under general anesthesia, during which the ovaries and uterus or only the ovaries are removed to the animal. Pros and cons of sterilization of cats are discussed in detail in this article.
What causes the refusal of the operation?
Most veterinarians agree on the idea: if you do not plan to "reduce" your ward with someone in order to get offspring, it's better to operate on her. Otherwise, you doom the animal to constant suffering during the estrus: your fluffy pet will become aggressive, nervous, constantly screaming, will try to escape from the house. In addition to the fact that it simply acts on your nerves, such "empty" estrus damages your health and can lead to inflammatory processes and even tumors of the uterus. As an alternative to the sterilization of cats, some call special pills and hormonal injections, but remember that they can only be used in exceptional cases. All drugs of this kind provoke the development of cancer.
Benefits
Among the undoubted advantages of surgical intervention can be identified prevention of breast and ovarian tumors and improving the nature of the animal. The emotional state of the cat after the operation is greatly improved: since you relieve it of the constant stresses caused by the inability to satisfy the sexual desire, it becomes more calm, affectionate, manual. Finally, you no longer have to puzzle over the question of where to put the next offspring brought in the spring.
