What will happen if a male cat is not neutered?

2023-06-12 02:37:14 169

Male cats can have some negative behaviors and health problems if they are not neutered. Here are some possible scenarios:


1. Roaming in search of mates: When male cats reach estrus, they will often roam in search of mates, which may lead to injuries, diseases, loss, or attacks by stray cats outdoors.


2. Challenging behavior during estrus: Unneutered male cats will show more violent behaviors during estrus, including yelling, urine marking, and attacking other cats and family members. These can lead to complaints from neighbors and family disputes.


3. Urine marking: Unneutered male cats will mark their territory through urine marking and urinate randomly in the home or surrounding areas. This will leave a smell and damage the home decoration, and is difficult to remove.


4. Health problems: Unneutered male cats are prone to diseases related to the reproductive system, such as kidney stones, prostatitis, orchitis, etc.


Therefore, for male cats that have no breeding plans or do not need to be used for display, it is recommended to undergo neutering surgery in time. Spaying and neutering can effectively prevent the above problems in male cats and make them healthier, happier and live longer.
