After a male cat is neutered, hormone levels drop, which may reduce unwanted behaviors such as howling or urine spraying. However, even after neutering, some male cats will still retain their old habits. Here are some reasons why a male cat may still howl after being neutered, and how to fix it:
1. Improper restraint: If you let your male cat live in a small space, he may become anxious and depressed, which may lead to howling. Therefore, providing enough space and an appropriate environment to create safe, comfortable living conditions is important to reduce howling.
2. Lack of exercise and stimulation: Providing adequate exercise and stimulation to male cats can help relieve their tension and anxiety, thereby reducing the frequency of howling. You can encourage active and fun thinking time for your cat by providing a variety of toys and puzzles.
3. Loneliness: If your male cat is constantly feeling lonely and bored, they may express their displeasure by howling. Providing more attention and interaction time, or considering bringing in another cat to provide them with company are effective ways to reduce howling.
4. Health problems: Sometimes male cats that still howl after being neutered may be due to certain health problems. Therefore, if your male cat still howls frequently after being neutered, you should take him to the veterinarian for a checkup to determine if there are any underlying health issues.
In short, if your male cat still howls frequently after neutering surgery, you need to further understand the cause and take appropriate measures to solve the problem. If you are in any doubt, seek advice from your veterinarian.
