The reasons why male cats need to be sterilized:

1. To reduce infectious diseases. After sterilization, cats will not be infected with infectious diseases such as feline AIDS during mating due to estrus. If cats have infectious diseases or genetic defects, there is no need to worry about inheriting the disease after sterilization.

2. Reduce the disease rate and increase the life span of cats. Neutering female cats can reduce the prevalence of ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids and other diseases; neutering male cats can avoid diseases such as testicular tumors, prostate hypertrophy, and urinary system obstruction caused by cats in heat. Studies have shown that sterilized cats live 1-2 years longer than non-neutered cats, and the cats are less aggressive, reducing the probability of trauma.

3. Control the number of stray cats. Because cats have a short estrus cycle and extremely strong reproductive capacity, they can mate if they are in estrus without control. The pregnancy rate is extremely high. The pregnancy period is two months and weaning can be done in one month. Female cats will also be in estrus during lactation.

4. Reduce the trouble caused by estrus. If a male cat is not neutered, he will have symptoms of frequent estrus, and it is easy to have urinary obstruction due to blockage of secretions. At the same time, he may also have symptoms such as restlessness, howling, and loss of appetite.

5. Neutering male cats can avoid their bad habit of peeing everywhere due to heat.

6. Cats whose male cats are neutered can extend their lifespan, because after sterilization, cats will not have problems such as loss of appetite or high mood swings caused by estrus.

Precautions for male cats after sterilization surgery:

1. Cat owners should put eye drops in the cat’s eyes every 3-5 minutes before the cat wakes up. Because cats cannot close their eyes when they are asleep, nor can they secrete lubricating fluid that moisturizes the eyeballs. In order to prevent the lens of the eyeballs from drying out and shrinking, the cat must be given eye drops.

2. Try to avoid strenuous activities within one week after surgery. During this period, it is best to keep the patient in a cage to avoid jumping around and prevent wound tearing.

3. The Elizabethan collar and the female cat’s surgical gown must be worn within one to two weeks after the operation to prevent the cat from licking and biting the wound, causing infection and delaying wound healing.
