Many professional information will recommend female cats to cat owners because female cats have relatively delicate personalities and are loyal to their owners. However, when they are in heat, they will scream and howl all night long. In heat, their fur becomes dull, their appetite is lost, and their weight plummets. The owner, besides being surprised by their precocity, doesn't know how to deal with it. As a result, many methods used on humans were used on cats: such as feeding contraceptive pills to cats.

Feeding female cats human contraceptive pills to prevent estrus or ovulation does have a certain effect. However, more and more cases have proven that it is very wrong to use this method to control the estrus and fertility of female cats for a long time, and it will cause great harm to the health of female cats!

Breast cancer patients in animal hospitals

Niuniu is a 4-year-old female cat who is the sweetheart of the hostess Xiaoya. The owner takes great care of its food and daily life. The better the living conditions, the easier it seems for Niuniu to go into heat. At this time, the owner solves the problem by feeding contraceptive pills. It went like this year after year, until one day, Xiaoya felt a very hard lump on Niuniu's breast. She felt uneasy and sent Niuniu to the animal hospital for examination, and found that she had severe breast cancer. Niu Niu underwent major surgery to remove the cancerous breasts, ovaries, and inguinal lymph nodes.

Frequent estrus is the main cause of tumors in the reproductive system (breast and ovary), and feeding human contraceptive pills seriously destroys the hormone balance in cats and accelerates the occurrence of cancer. Looking at the cat in her arms, Xiaoya's sadness and guilt cannot restore the cat's health.

There are many cat owners who do not know much about the ingredients and functions of the drug itself when feeding their cats contraceptive pills. They just try it after hearing that it is effective, which makes a big mistake. I sincerely hope that cat owners will stop making mistakes and let their cats’ fragile bodies bear misfortune.

What ingredients does human contraceptive pills consist of?

The main components of human contraceptive pills are estrogen and progesterone, which inhibit ovulation. Since the ingredients, dosages and dosage forms of various contraceptive pills are different, the main aspects of contraceptive effect are also different. Even if the user is a human being, he or she should follow the instructions of a physician.

How does a cat’s reproductive system work?

The estrus of a sexually mature female cat lasts for 5 to 8 days, and the longest can reach 20 days. During this period, the female cat releases a large amount of sexual pheromones when she is in estrus and attracts the male cat with a unique and loud cry.

There are many authoritative data proving that the estrus cycle of female cats is indirectly regulated by the length of daylight. Rhythmic changes in sunlight will stimulate the hypothalamus and release corresponding hormones. As the days get longer, the brain sends signals telling the body that it's breeding season. Indoor domestic cats, due to the influence of artificial lighting such as fluorescent lamps, can go into estrus in any season of the year.

​Cats are induced ovulators, which means that the female cat must be induced by mating activities in order to ovulate. Ovulation usually occurs 24 hours after mating. If there is no mating or pregnancy failure during the period of estrus, the female cat may go into estrus again.

How harmful are birth control pills to female cats?

It is a three-part poison. Even if taken by humans, contraceptive pills will have an impact on the body's material metabolism and nutrient absorption. If you have ever given a cat birth control pills, how many did you give it at one time? Half a pill? One pill? Or more? You know, 1/4 of a human pill contains estrogen that is not enough for a cat. Said it was a serious overdose. Feeding cats a large amount of birth control pills for a long time can cause arteriosclerosis, ovarian bleeding, ovarian cysts, uterine infection, pyometra, breast tumors, and even breast cancer. Pathological changes in a cat's ovaries and uterus will also bring about changes in physical and behavioral patterns, such as laziness, hyperphagia, overweight, etc.

Currently, are there any contraceptive pills suitable for cats?

Although scientific research institutions in many countries are committed to developing satisfactory drugs, success seems to be still a long way away. I hope owners will not be obsessed with this and choose other ways to solve the problem of female cats in heat.

Please pay more attention to the health of female cats

Cats do not need to get joy and satisfaction from the relationship between the sexes. For them, the work of breeding offspring is hard and serious, especially for female cats who are responsible for reproduction. If you don't want your cat to suffer, consider having her spayed or neutered. Maybe you think that surgery is dangerous and will cause pain to cats. In fact, cats face many more dangers and pains during each birth than one surgery. Moreover, sterilization surgery is very mature. Performing sterilization surgery on cats can avoid the pain caused to them when they are in heat and fundamentally reduce the health risks of cats. Breeding male cats is also a better choice. Especially for breed cats, although they all look similar when they are young, the size of male cats as adults is incomparable to female cats, and their appearance will be much better than female cats. In the animal kingdom, males are often the most beautiful. Sterilization surgery is also relatively simple.
