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
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- The grow fatter, looks nice?
- Personally feel it's a crime to alter their organs. Imagine someone alter your sex organ without your consent.
- 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
- 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.
