How To Give Your Cat His New Life With Neuter

Neuter your cat will decrease roaming, aggressive or territorial behavior, litter marking and urinating in places you don't want him to. A neutered cat has less risk of contracting testicular cancer, urinary tract infection and greatly decreases the chances of suffering from prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia. Neutering also reduces the risk of being injured in cat fights, which can be very dangerous for both you and your cat. And last but not least, a neutered cat has less risk of contracting infections or transmitting diseases such as rabies and Feline Distemper.

Neutering is usually done when your cat is between the ages of six months to nine years old. This is a very safe procedure that you and your veterinarian should discuss together to make sure it's going to be a good decision. Neutering is done by removing the reproductive organs so the male cat won't produce any sperm, thus making it impossible for him to breed. The process of neutering is pretty painless for your cat. In some cases. You can help your cat through the entire procedure by keeping him calm and happy.

Before you plan to go ahead and give your cat his new life, there are a few things you need to know first. Check out your local vet to find out more about how your current cat is doing and ask him if they preform neutering. Most vets in the area have this procedure and will probably be able to help you if you're unsure. And don't forget to let your pet know what you're planning to do so he doesn't get too nervous. If he is nervous, try telling him about a new toy or pet you have ;)
