Now more and more families like to keep pets. Cats and dogs are definitely the two most common species. Dogs are more loyal and cats are more cute, so it is difficult to make a comparison between the two. However, if raising cats, we have to consider one thing, that is sterilization.
Generally, male cats will be more restless when they are in estrus, and will constantly make a low howl. What’s more, they will leave their urine in all parts of the house. This will not only make a mess in the home, but also disturb the people around. Therefore, most people will sterilize the cat when raising the cat. When is the male cat better to have sterilization?
According to the pet doctor’s advice, the best sterilization time for a male cat is six to eight months, that is, before the first estrus. Cats rely on hormones to maintain their growth. Hormones are needed to promote their development before all aspects of the cat’s bones mature. If the cat is sterilized prematurely, it will affect the development of the cat to a great extent.
Sterilization before the cat’s first estrus can effectively reduce the cat’s estrous behavior. Because the cat’s estrus period will be about a month. When the cat has estrus behavior, it is easy to form a habit. In this way, even after sterilization, it will have estrus behavior.
The sterilization of male cats takes a short time, just a few minutes, and male cats can recover on the same day. Sterilization of male cats can fundamentally reduce the diseases of the reproductive system caused by estrus. Moreover, cats are grumpy during estrus. After sterilization, they can make the cat’s character more gentle and keep the cat in a healthy state.
Sterilizing the cat is a practice that many breeders will choose. Although it is good for the health of the cat, it will also hurt the mental health of the cat. Therefore, after sterilizing the cat, you must be patient with it!
