wat happens when a cat is sprayed?? spayed?

is it a must and must you do that?

Answers:

If you do not want your female cat to have kittens, you have here spayed. If you don't want your male cat to father kittens, you have him castrated. In both sexes you can simply say you want them neutered.

The vet performs the operation. In the female cat a small keyhole incision is made on her side or belly and the ovaries are tied off or removed. In a male cat, a small cut is made in the scrotum and the testes removed. It is a relatively simple operation and they usually make a quick and easy recovery . Mine will come back from the vets in the afternoon, and by the evening are eating and playing as per usual.

In female cats it stops them coming into season and wanting to get out to be mated. In males it makes them less likely to wander off and get into fights with other male cats and they become altogether much more home loving and affectionate. I would highly recommend that you get your cats male or female, neutered as there are too many litters of kittens being bred by people who have no idea about rearing kittens properly, who then let them go to totally unsuitable homes, sometimes as young as 4 weeks old, which is simply cruel.

If you are on a low income, or benefits, the Cats protection league will help you to get your cat neutered for a very small fee. They send you a voucher which you take to your vet. Different parts of the country have other organisations which will help too. Here in Cambridgeshire there is also 'spaywatch' which helps to neuter cats and dogs, and also I understand that the RSPCA will offer a voucher for reduced cost neutering, although with the millions of pounds that the RSPCA have in their bank account, to be honest, if they REALLY wanted to reduce unwanted puppies and kittens, they could easily afford to offer free neutering.

A cat is not sprayed; a cat sprays; and it's usually male cats who do that - it's a squirting of urine to mark territory.
