Why does neutered cat still meow?
There are several reasons why a cat meows constantly after neutering. First, when the post-operative anesthesia wears off, the cat may experience pain and therefore keep meowing. In this case, giving the cat painkillers can help alleviate the discomfort. Second, after neutering, the hormone levels in the cat's body change, causing the cat to be anxious and restless. There's no need to worry too much, as this phenomenon will disappear after a period of time.
Changes after cat neutering
After neutering, a cat may experience the following changes: the cat may meow more or may stop going into heat. The cat also won't urinate everywhere to mark its territory. Due to the decrease in hormone levels, especially thyroid hormone reduction, the cat's metabolism slows down. If the cat doesn't get enough exercise, it will likely gain weight. The change in hormone levels also reduces the cat's activity level, making it more content to stay in one place and unwilling to exercise.
Cat personality after neutering
Usually, after neutering, the cat's body secretes less testosterone and estrogen, so its personality tends to become more docile. However, some cats may be stimulated during the neutering process or due to individual differences, their personality may become more aggressive than before, but this is relatively rare.
Precautions after cat neutering surgery
After the neutering surgery, attention should be paid to wound healing and anti-inflammatory treatment. In terms of anti-inflammation, male cats will receive antibiotic injections for three days after surgery, while female cats require abdominal incision and thus need to receive antibiotics via intravenous drip. For wound care, both male and female cats need to wear an Elizabethan collar to prevent licking the wound. Additionally, the wound should be sprayed with a disinfectant three times a day.
