This tragic predicament could be easily avoided if each pet owner spayed or neutered their pet. It'’s safe, affordable and improves pet health. Yet many pet owners say they simply have not bothered to do it yet!
In addition to decreased populationn, there are several benefits to the cat to whom is being spayed or neutered.
Neutered Male Cat Benefits are:
- Neutered cats are less likely to spray strong urine
- Neutered cats will lose the urge to fight
- Neutered cats will be less likely to try to escape
- Neutered cats will not suffer the abscesses from fighting
- Neutered cats will be less likely to contract diseases such as FeLV and FIV
- Neutered cats will not be subject to testicular cancer
- Neutered cats will not likely develop "stud tail," caused by overactive glands in the tail
- Neutered cats have a decreased risk of mammary cancer
- Decreased Risk of Mammary Cancer
Ideally, to give a female cat protection against mammary cancer, she should be spayed prior to her first heat. Each subsequent heat brings a greater chance of mammary cancer at a later time. - Eliminates Risk of Ovarian or Uterine Cancer
Spaying a cat involves the removal of the uterus and ovaries. No organs: no cancer; simple as that. - Eliminates Chances of Pyometritis
Pyometra is a virulent bacteria that attacks the uterus of cats, usually a week or so after estrus, and is a potentially fatal infection.
Get Oprah to Help!
Meanwhile, you can also sign a petition to get the marketing highness, Oprah, to advocate for spaying and neutering.
