There are cat shovelers at home who raise cats. Have you encountered such problems: cats have decreased appetite, are excited, and like to scream at night. In fact, these are all manifestations of cats in estrus. At this time, is the shoveler considering taking the cat for sterilization? Below, the editor will tell you about the knowledge about "cat sterilization". Interested friends come and learn about it!

1. What is the matter with cat sterilization?

Female cats remove ovaries and uterus, while male cats remove testicles. After the cat is sterilized, the body will be deficient in estrogen or androgen, which can also reduce the incidence of certain diseases, but it also has certain negative effects on the body (such as obesity and urine leakage). However, as long as the right time is chosen, the impact can be minimized.

2. Is there the best time for cat sterilization?

It is best to choose to sterilize cats according to their own situation. It is best not to sterilize cats after giving birth once. The sterilization situation is different before and after the estrus period. If the shoveler chooses to sterilize the cat before going into heat, it can usually be done at 4-5 months. It is also OK if the cat shoveler chooses to sterilize after estrus. Sex hormones are helpful for the growth and development of cats, especially for the male cat's cheeks, so it is better to arrange sterilization after the cat's first estrus.

3. Can cats be sterilized before minors?

Cats usually reach sexual maturity at 6-9 months, and the specific time is affected by the environment, nutritional status, etc. For female cats, sterilization before sexual maturity can effectively reduce behavioral problems after estrus, such as howling, butt lifting, etc. But for male cats, sterilization is more likely to occur before sexual maturity and other behaviors. Therefore, you can choose to sterilize based on the situation before you become a minor.

The above is related to cat sterilization. Do all the shovelers know about it? I would like to remind you that there is no absolute best time for sterilization. The shoveler can choose according to the situation of his cat~
