What to do when your cat is in heat, do you have to neuter it?

Once a cat is in heat, life becomes difficult for the pet owner. Not only will the cat scream loudly in the middle of the night, wander everywhere, and even urinate indoors, but it also completely disrupts the normal rest of the pet owner. The usually quiet and cute cat changes completely, and this is when the pet owner starts considering whether to neuter the cat!

First of all, we should understand that cat heat behavior is inevitable. Cat heat behavior cannot be completely resolved. As heat behavior is a normal physiological behavior of healthy cats, it cannot be forcefully changed.

Of course, many pet owners now choose to neuter their cats to avoid this trouble. Neutering is to render the cat infertile, avoiding heat periods and the troubles caused by them.

Is neutering necessary for cats?

Reply:

This question lies in the choice and consideration of the pet owner. If the cat needs to breed offspring, or if the cat is just a hobby and no plans to breed are made, you can choose to neuter the cat after its second normal heat period. After neutering, the cat will not go into heat and there will be no disordered urination or screaming.

Of course, if the pet owner does not support neutering and hopes for the cat to breed normally, it is understandable not to choose neutering. When the cat is in heat, you can only understand and try to comfort the cat as much as possible.

The most important thing is to choose a suitable breeding partner for the cat in advance and keep the cats together when they are in heat to foster their feelings and ensure that the mating process can be completed more smoothly. Of course, when the cat is in heat, you must watch over the cat to avoid unwanted pregnancies with stray cats outside.
