Spaying and neutering a female cat is a common decision for many pet owners. However, this is not the only option. Here are some other options for female cats that are not surgically neutered.
1.Sterilization: This is a non-surgical method of sterilization in which a drug called a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue is injected to suppress the activity of the ovaries to achieve the effect of sterilization. The advantage of this method is that there is no need for surgery, but it may require multiple injections, and there may be some *** such as weight gain or behavioral changes.
2.Contraception: You can choose to give your female cat birth control pills or contraceptive collars. These products are effective in preventing pregnancy in female cats, but they need to be replaced regularly and there may be some *** such as weight gain or behavioral changes.
Finally, cats usually come into heat 3 to 4 times a year, and each heat lasts about 1 2 weeks. However, if the cat is in heat many times but does not mate, it will cause the time interval of the cat to estrus is getting shorter and shorter, this situation is very unfavorable to the health of the cat, and the female cat is prone to uterine pyometra with frequent estrus, which seriously threatens its health.
Therefore, if the pet owner does not have a plan to give birth to the cat, it is still recommended to sterilize the cat to prevent the cat from becoming pregnant, and alleviate the symptoms of the cat's estrus, and the short-term contraceptive method can not fundamentally solve the problem.
