It is well known that female cats that are not neutered all the time can pose a series of problems and potential health risks. Neutering has a positive impact on the health and well-being of female cats, as well as controlling the number of cats and reducing the number of stray cats. This article will delve into why female cats should be spayed and the benefits.
Why are female cats spayed and neutered?
1.Controlling the number of breeds: Female cats can give birth to multiple kittens in their lifetime, and if these kittens are not properly cared for and adopted, they can become homeless strays. Neutering can effectively reduce the number of stray cats and reduce the burden on society.
2.Protects against breast cancer and uterine diseases: Neutering can reduce the risk of breast cancer and uterine diseases in female cats. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in female cats, and spaying surgery can reduce the risk of breast cancer to extremely low levels, especially when spayed before sexual maturity before spaying surgery.
3.Avoid the troubles of estrus: The estrus period of female cats will be accompanied by a series of troubles, such as loud calls, urine spraying, abnormal behavior, etc., which is an unnecessary distress and stress for the breeder. Neutering can reduce the frequency and intensity of the female cat's estrus phase, making it more calm and quiet.
What are the benefits of neutering?
1.Health and longevity: Neutering can reduce the risk of some serious diseases in female cats, such as breast cancer, uterine infections, and uterine fibroids. Early neutering can even allow female cats to live longer and enjoy a higher quality of life.
2.Improvement of behavioural problems: Unneutered female cats exhibit a range of behavioural problems during estrus, such as urine spraying, blood stains, and vocalizations. Neutering can reduce the frequency and intensity of these behavioral problems, making the mother cat more docile and manageable.
3.Protecting communities and the environment: The problem of stray cats has become one of the serious challenges faced by many communities. Neutering surgery can control the breeding number of cats and reduce the number of stray cats, thus protecting the environment of the community and the safety of residents.
4.Promote family harmony: Unneutered female cats can cause conflict and disharmony among family members when they are in heat. Sterilization can reduce the likelihood of these conflicts and make the family more harmonious.
What are the precautions for sterilization surgery?
Neutering should be performed after the female cat reaches adulthood (usually around 6 months), preferably before sexual maturity. A series of physical examinations and tests are required before surgery to ensure that the female cat's physical condition is suitable for surgery. Adequate rest and special care need to be given after surgery to ensure the recovery and ** of the female cat. Female cats may have an increased appetite after a spay/neuter procedure, so care needs to be taken to control their diet to avoid obesity and other health problems.
In summary, there are a range of potential health risks and problems associated with female cats not being neutered all the time. Neutering not only controls the number of breeding and reduces the number of stray cats, but also reduces the risk of breast cancer and uterine diseases in female cats, improves behavioural problems, promotes family harmony and protects the community environment. Spaying and neutering is a necessary and recommended practice for the health and well-being of female cats.
