Benefits of sterilizing male cats:

1. Neutering can prevent cats from urinating indiscriminately, because cats will occupy territory and urinate indiscriminately when they are in heat.

2. Avoid indiscriminate breeding. We can see many stray cats on the streets and alleys, and these stray cats are not raised by anyone. This phenomenon is caused by indiscriminate breeding. There are many incidents of male cats getting lost when they are in heat. Therefore, neutering is a good choice, which can avoid blind breeding and reduce the appearance of stray cats.

3. Become quiet. Unneutered male cats will be nervous and irritable when they are in heat, while neutered cats can regain their lively nature when they were young, become quieter in character, and develop good habits, which can give their owners peace of mind.

Disadvantages of neutering male cats:

1. It can easily lead to obesity in cats. Cats that are too fat are prone to heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and other diseases. Cats that are too heavy will tire easily, become lazier, and are prone to calcium deficiency and other problems, which seriously affect the life of the cat.

2. There is a certain risk in sterilizing male cats. Excessive anesthesia will cause the cat to die. This probability is about one in 10,000.

3. Male cats cannot breed after being sterilized.

Care for cats after sterilization:

1. Disinfect and deworm the breeding environment in advance. Before neutering, the breeding environment must be dewormed and disinfected. After arriving home, it is recommended to disinfect 1-2 times a day, using a disinfectant that is harmless to cats.

2. Let the cat bask in the sun for a period of time every day. The UV disinfection effect of sunlight is very good, so letting cats bask in the sun for a period of time every day is very good for cats' recovery.
