Common conclusions
Neutering is a sure way to prevent your cat from having litters. Many pet owners opt for this choice to prevent overpopulation of pets as it becomes difficult to find the right homes for all the kittens. At the same time, keeping the kittens in your house entails more costs in the form of vaccines and food, not to mention their litters in the future! To avoid these complications, spaying or neutering is done by pet owners.
Understanding the downsides of neutering is important to help you make the right decision. One of the biggest problems with neutering is that it leads to weight gain. This is because when animals want to mate, they become highly energetic and burn a lot of energy seeking a partner. But when you neuter the pets, they have no such feelings, and this means, they will not expend as many calories. This will eventually lead to weight gain.
One of the biggest advantages of neutering your pets is that they will be calm because they don't have the sexual urge and the agitation to fulfill it. Also, your cat will not be prone to other cats' calls and all of these can make your pet stay calm and composed. They also may not find the need to move around a lot and in the case of males, there is no territorial protection or aggression. As a result, the number of fights with other cats and animals also go down greatly. This can be particularly useful if you have more than one pet.
Neutered cats do not find the need to urinate all over the house to mark its territory. Most of these involuntary urges are associated with sexual desires and to dominate. But when these urges are not present due to the neutering, the cat will not need to urinate all over the house and yard, and this greatly reduces your cleaning job.
Neutered pets tend to remain healthy for a long time. Neutering is the process of removing the testicles, so there is no worry about testicular cancer. The risk of prostate problems is reduced as well. If you're concerned about altering the appearance of your cat by removing its testicles, you can always use testicular implants to make up for it.
It is never such a good idea to allow your cats to have a litter before neutering it simply because it can lead to health complications later on. Do it when it is young so it is easier for your cat and you can stop worrying about puberty.
Good idea! Neuter before it gets the first heat.
