It is better to neuter male cats when they are 8 to 12 months old. Generally speaking, the best time for neutering is when the cat’s sexual organs are relatively mature and before the first estrus. The specific decision should be made based on the cat’s personality changes and development. Don’t spay or neuter your cat too early or too late. If the cat owner has no need for breeding the cat, it is recommended that the cat owner take the cat for sterilization at the appropriate age.

Benefits of cat sterilization:

1. Neutered cats will not be infected with sexually transmitted diseases such as feline AIDS.

2. If cats with genetic diseases or genetic defects are sterilized, there will be no problem in the next generation.

3. Reduce diseases of the cat’s reproductive system. Neutering female cats can reduce the prevalence of ovarian cysts, pyometra, uterine fibroids, breast tumors, etc. After male cats are sterilized, it can avoid testicular tumors, prostate hypertrophy, frequent estrus and secretion blockage caused by long-term estrus, leading to occlusion of the urinary system of male cats, etc., and increase the life span of cats.

4. Avoid the adverse symptoms of cats in estrus and reduce their pain. After neutering, female cats will stop meowing, and male cats will reduce peeing indiscriminately.

5. Sterilize to control the number of stray cats and reduce the occurrence of tragedies.
