#cat #cats #catfacts
One of the most popular pets is the cat. Caring for her does not take much time, and the house is filled with comfort and fun. Kittens are especially cute, they resemble small balls. As cats age, their temperament and needs change. Instincts take over, and the pet begins to look for a sexual partner. The animal's mood changes and the appetite disappears. To make life easier for both the owners and the cat, you can sterilize.
With age, the cat begins to actively produce hormones in the ovaries. This leads to serious changes in the pet's life: sudden mood swings, lack of appetite, loud exclamations, marks, etc. These are signs of sexual hunting when the animal is looking for a mating partner. If the owners do not plan to breed kittens, it is best to sterilize them. This procedure involves the removal of the ovaries.
The optimal age for sterilization: from 1 year to 10 years. Kittens should not be operated on, their body is not yet strong. It is also impossible to delay the procedure, otherwise, the pet may develop diseases of the reproductive organs.
The animal must not be fed 12 hours before the operation and given water 3 hours before, otherwise, vomiting will occur during the process. Before sterilization, the veterinarian may require testing and ultrasound, as well as a visit to the cardiologist and therapist. So, the specialist will make sure that the cat will tolerate the operation positively.
After sterilization, the veterinarian will give precise instructions for the care and nutrition of the animal. If there are deviations in behavior and health, you should immediately contact a veterinary clinic.
