Spaying and neutering I s

Spaying and neutering is the best thing you can do for your pet

Thank you

I'd like to but at the same time...wouldn't want to end its blood line

​@@lukeenglish7433 same tbh

I now have a 5 mo old kitten as a companion for Bella… her spay is scheduled for Jan 26. I cannot speak highly enough about the many benefits of having your animals fixed. It makes them so much healthier and happier in their lives in general!

When did she start walking normal?

I just had Jasmine spayed a day ago. She’s done nothing but lay around,growl at us, she will not eat, drink. I already had her back to vet because she needed fluids,antibiotics.and nausea meds. I buried a cat after he was neutered so I am scared.

Felines need to be sterilized and that is how you control overpopulation. However neutering tomcats is unnecessary and nothing more than mutilation . You cannot just chop off someones balls without their consent, for your own vanity, not to mention why vets recommend it is just pure profit related. Your tomcat can still get every deadly disease, if you actually understood or cared or respected that cat you would have let it be and instead vaccinate the animal against the deadly diseases. A cat is not a house decoration. Not all tomcats stink and they are primarily in the garden, no problem for them spraying there. You just cut out a major part of this cats life that would have made it full, without it's consent, totally unnecessarily.This goes beyond sexual function, castration impact an animal in many other aspects negatively and again unnecessarily. I wish that vets stop manipulating people for profit.

hello question! now that it’s 2 months later does he seem happier ?? more affectionate ?

@@audrey-ji2qq since you two are close and you are his family he leans on you completely, he is an indoor cat. Also this is your experience, often times the cat has permanent visible frustration. In the case of semi feral cats or cats that were mostly outdoors this is a horrid thing to go through that will permanently cripple them in their natural instincts behaviour and routine, leaving them more vulnerable if they can only rely on themselves. Also they are very aware that they have been castrated so are other tomcats, this is often shamed.

@@jodi2867 cats don't have the same emotions humans have so please don't anthromorphize (?spelling) them. They don't shame others cats for being neutered. Neutered Tom cats simply aren't going to be fighting with other Tom's. Cats are natural predators so if they live outdoors, they roam as they have to hunt. If they are an indoor/outdoor cats when they go outside they will roam for the same reason. If you have never experienced having a female cat go into a heat cycle or a Tom cat get into fights in your household, you should at least once. You will change your mind fairly quickly about spaying/neutering them. The expense is worth it. The vets at the clinic i go to will at the earliest neuter/spay when a kitten is 5 months old since they are sexually mature at 6 months.

@@amyrussell860 Amy you have no idea who you are arguing with!? Are you a doctor, a scientist? Are you someone who researches animal behaviour and psychology? I bet you could not even solve a math problem from 5th grade, therefore I should label you as a lesser being compared to me and rightfully mutilate you for my own comfort. Damn you are not only ignorant and vain but proud of it. Cats experience the same emotions as humans, and this has been documented many many times, they are fully conscious. Spaying a female is not the same as neutering a male. And castration in particular is useless and outdated evil mutilation in the name of the owners vanity. The facts are that it cannot tacle the population overgrowth problem since, it simply does not work like that, the females are the vehicle and source of that, always will be males who are going to get the unsapyed females pregnant even on a street/block level, as long as there are unsprayed females roaming around. Spaying is absolutely reasonable and just beneficial, the females are thankful for the process and there are no "side effects".However castration is useless and does not tackle anything in reality other than mutilating and making your animal sick mentally and physically. Having no testicles puts one up for poor mental and physical health, period. And this is the case, end of story. Almost all notoriously obese cats are castrated males, no coincidence. There is enormous amount of evidence pointing from owners that the castrated animals mental health becomes a very big problem. I myself conduct research on the material. The animal is 100% aware of it being mutilated this is also proven, and it has to live with the agony for the rest of it's life, also they are shamed. Cats fight irregardless their gender. For example spayed females will keep fighting iregardless. Fightings are harmless mostly, usually just noisy, AS LONG AS THE CAT IS VACCINATED IT IS OKAY. Tomcats need to be vaccinated. Vaccinations eliminate the chance or getting sick from contagious deadly diseases. CASTRATION DOES NOT, your castrated cat can still get these sicknesses. I bet you did not know this one either. Also cats regardless or their gender spray not every one and this issue is tackled by training and not castration. A cat should spend a reasonable amount of time outdoors every day anyways. A cat is not a house decoration. A cat is independent. A cat does not want you to adopt it to be your vanity deco, it is your desire to do so. So instead of treating a living being that experiences the same emotions and is conscious as a toy give it the respect you give yourself. It is useless, evil, vain does not tackle the real issues. Vaccinate it, respect it, communicate with it, build trust and healthy bond and let it be. Never ever castrate, ever.

Great story! I have that same color female. They really are like a shadow! I ended up naming her 'Misty' because she reminds of a grey, misty day. She is a treasure, but a real handful. She was spayed this morning so it's been an experience since she got home. It's a wonder her incision is still closed! She was wobbly, but it didn't slow her down a bit. I hope tomorrow that she's back to herself. I take it that Shadow isn't here anymore. 😿

Beautiful story

Male cats are very affectionate! I love them. He waa earning his keep by killing the rata.

I love this story so much!!! Whoever left that guy behind are Monsters!!! My kitty was just gone over night and I was wide awake at 5am waiting for the vet to open. I can't imagine leaving mine behind. I'm so glad you took him in. God bless you. Mine have really made my mental health better. I didn't realize how much them being here has helped my depression since my divorce. They really are special little critters.

I think that happens sometimes when kitten is too young and hasn't time to develop enough.. recommended neuter at 6+ months

Did he turn ghey?

When they go into heat you will rush to the vet. The crying they do is awful.

I hate it

Did your boy cat have any urinary problems?

@@dianatobar4452 he has never had any urinary issues and he’s 17 years old

omg do u not normally sleep with the cat i refused to sleep in my room the night my cat had surgery cuz ive nvr slept in this room without her 😭 shes 5 days into healing n cuddled up next to me even now

@@luna20_63Hi did your cat got spayed? How’s the recovery?

This gives me hope! I recently picked up a 1ish year old stray off the street and he sprays like crazy. It is very frustrating. He has an appointment next week to get the ol snip snip and I'm hoping it will end this behavior.

@@JDoggrainbowlove69 how is he doing now?

He's doing great! Hasn't sprayed since the procedure. Still crazy as ever tho lol

@@JDoggrainbowlove69 Glad to hear this! I recently rescued a feral kitten stuck in my neighbor's drain pipe, and so far spraying is the ONLY negative behavior he hasn't displayed, LOL. He's not a bad boy, just a very feisty growing kitten. He adores my Chihuahua who thank goodness, plays with him all day. He also loves my elderly toothless Dachshund who unfortunately cannot fight back when he gets too rough, so sometimes this place is like a daycare center, LOL. Thank goodness the "family jewels" are coming in so it won't be long before I can schedule him for his attitude adjustment. I'm hoping our feral cat org does as good a job as yours did.

I recently neutered my cat he is one year and 8 months old I'm very 😓 worried and anxious. I hope he will recover soon and stop spraying like he used to do all over the house.

I have 2 male kittens. I'm waiting till 8 or 9 months to neuter.

How did your cat do?

I rescue cats and have cared for over 50 cats in my time. I have spayed or neutered multiple cats and have lost one cat under anaesthetic when having surgery. I truly understand your anxiety as the cat I lost was very special to me and I will never forget the pain I felt for him. But believe me, an unfixed cat is impossible to live with and the benefits of having your cat fixed far outweighs the cons. Be brave and do the best thing for your cat. Have your cat fixed. ❤️

I prefer my cats to be spayed when they are older like at least 6 months old or older because some have issues with anesthesia.

@@popsy469 please can you explain why you lost that cat? Did they do a blood test before they did the operation?

@@MythMReality yes, they did all the appropriate tests beforehand. When he was neutered the vet said he was very slow to recover from the anaesthesia. A year later he was is excellent health apart from entropic which he required surgery for. I took him to a specialist hospital in the states for the surgery and they couldn’t wake him afterwards. When he did come round, he took several seizures, they had to resuscitate him twice, but then he died the following day. It was 10 years ago on my birthday and I will never forget it for the rest of my life. RIP my little Black Angus. Xxx

And then they turn around and charge a fortune. I realized a long time ago that I should've been a vet instead of a nurse practitioner after seeing how much they charge knowing that people will rarely walk away from their pets.

I'm thinking about getting my cats neutred, they are siblings and both of them are 7 months old and I have tight budget. idk what to do I don't want them to breed.

@@harisatayyaba7730 my advice is look for a vet that is based purely or mostly around big farm animals. I took her to a farm vet and the hill for the surgery came out to be 100 and that was with giving her the strongest pain meds that would last her two days and her surgery. Small local vets are some of the best just be sure to check their ratings and reviews

i can’t imagine that ! glad it turned out positive for you

Poor kittens. I hope no more cats have to go through your abuse.

​@@Kiz-0 where is the abuse here? she had dealt with them responsibly and compassionately. Getting them neutered is not abuse!

@@maitreyik.r.4461 when you steal hormones from an animal it hurts it and causes underdevelopment. If you are spaying/neudering your animal you are an abuser.

is she okay

Glad you're here!

Ooh, good timing indeed! Good luck with your two kitties!

Update??

Dr Karen Becker said that the early spaying and neutering health issues later on tend to be for dogs but for now, not so much for cats. That being said, I prefer my cats to be spayed when they are at least 6 months old or older. I don't agree with spaying cats too early.

Thank you, Paige! We'll keep that in mind. Happy New Year to you!

@@AllAboutCatsYT please include that new thing too, where your flea med for the fur also takes care of deworming, so no deworming pills needed! Great info here, thanks. 👍
