Should I spay or neuter my cat?

What is spay and what is neuter? Quite a technical terms but put simply, spay is for female, neuter is for male.

Before I put my first cat for spay, I had this dilemma whether I should or not. And I struggling to find a proper answer for weeks. Many internet articles will support spaying and neutering and one of the reasons is control population. I think this is bullshit. Who are we to control their population? We are not playing gods. In fact, it's quite a sin to alter their organs, at least that's my believe.

Here's the pro and cons of spay/neutering your cat. It's up to your judgement. But I have spayed/neutered all my cats, never regretted because I can see they are suffering if they are not spayed/neutered. Imagine the feeling when they need to go out and mate, but can't go out since they are indoor cats. I guess there's a price to pay for being indoor cat, unfortunately.

Pros of spaying/neutering

  1. Hormones won't raging in their body and they won't have the urgency to go out to mate. It's suffering if they are full time indoor cat
  2. They won't mark territory by urinating all over your house. It's a matter of time they start marking territory all over your house because they can't go out to mate.
  3. If your house has male and female cats, they won't mate with each other. You will have trouble if your cats population start to grow within your house.
  4. The grow fatter, looks nice?

Cons of spaying/neutering
  1. Personally feel it's a crime to alter their organs. Imagine someone alter your sex organ without your consent.
  2. Any operation has risk, even though it's minor. There's every chance the cat will die due to anesthetic or virus infection after surgery
  3. You need to dedicate 14 days of your time to specially take care of them. Make sure their stiches not opened. Otherwise, it's a nightmare and prone to virus infection such as FPV.
