Are you wondering what the effects are for you and your cat? There are several things to consider. Fortunately, much of this can be solved by feeding your beloved four-legged friend the right food. But what are the benefits of spaying or neutering your cat? Cats benefit from spaying or neutering for several reasons. There are many benefits for both the cat and the owner.
In addition, the life expectancy of your cat is doubled.
They have less risk of mammary gland tumors, uterine inflammation or malignant breast cancer due to sterilization or castration. Also, a cat becomes much calmer after sterilization or castration. They show less territorial behavior and the chance of accidents, running away and quarrels with other cats is reduced.
What are the disadvantages of sterilization and castration
In addition to the many benefits, there are also a number of things to take into account when a cat is spayed or neutered. A change in the hormones also causes a change in metabolism. Spayed and neutered cats have a lower energy requirement, but a higher appetite. This increases the risk of obesity. In addition, they have an increased risk of problems with the urinary tract and coat.
Fortunately, the above 'problems' can be solved well with the right nutrition.
For example, you want the diet for the spayed/neutered cat to have a lower energy content and a higher fiber content. Also, a reduced amount of struvite (bladder grit)-forming minerals ensures a controlled urine pH. This supports the urinary tract, so that problems can be prevented.
