For male cats, it can avoid problems such as G-ball tumor and prostate hypertrophy caused by estrus. In addition, male cats who are frequently in estrus are most likely to have urinary system occlusion, because the secretions are blocked, and sterilization can fundamentally solve this problem.
First, male cats can't give birth to kittens, so it doesn't matter if they are neutered or not.
That's right, Male cats don't give birth directly to kittens, but they are the culprits of pregnancy in female cats. In group care work, we cannot guarantee that every female cat will be captured and neutered. In a stray cat group, as long as there is a female cat that is not neutered, it will become the concentrated pursuit of male cats, because male cats have no other female cats to pursue. We can say that this female cat has a 100% chance of being pregnant. In our experience, female cats tend to be very wary, smarter and harder to catch than male cats due to their need to raise offspring. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of their babies, pregnant cat mothers will be more alert and difficult to approach than ever before, and the success rate of trapping is also very low. Because stray cats are very mobile, even if all the female cats in one area have been neutered, persevering male cats will travel long distances to find mates in other areas and eventually succeed. As a responsible rescuer, one should not sit idly by while this happens.
Secondly, after the male cat is neutered, will it not be bullied by the unneutered male cat?
Whether it is bullied is not determined by whether it is neutered or not. On the contrary, male cats who are old and debilitated or are naturally timid, even if their strength is very poor, they will continue to challenge themselves under the drive of their nature. Only sterilization can relieve the pain driven by nature, so that male cats will no longer challenge each other for mates and get hurt repeatedly.
Thirdly, sterilization of male cats is not only to ensure that the stray cat population will not reproduce, but also a necessary condition to ensure the health of the cats and make the stray cat group live in harmony with the community
As we all know, male cats will inevitably fight when they are in heat. In every fight, there is a risk of injury. When you look at the cats you take care of day and night, they are scarred by fights and skinny because of estrus, do you still have the heart to let them continue? For a rebellious big male cat, if it is injured, if it is in the hospital for treatment Liver disease caused by infectious diseases or stress reactions caused by not eating or drinking, the owner must not bear it. At the same time, trauma is also a way of cat AIDS transmission, everyone must pay attention.
