Castrate cats - why?

Actually we have this question with a counter-question: Why not? When it comes to the topic of castration in animals is still distinguish the spirits. Even if just in case cat should be clear that, should make the uncontrolled proliferation of cats under control, there are always people who need not be aware of. Here are some arguments that might help one or the other convincing.

Stop watering the cats

Cats are very fertile animals, which can multiply rapidly. They are relatively undemanding. Even under bad conditions are Kätzinnen pregnant, give birth to their young and try to großzuziehen. A female can in a year up to two litters, the litter thickness of one to ten cats babies may fluctuate. Usually you can four to six pups out. The girls throw one may already at the tender age five to seven months for the first time are pregnant. Taken all descendants of a single cat high, it comes quickly, within 9 years to 14 million cats. These figures are obviously utopian and do not take into account the mortality rate. Nevertheless, noted: Unkastrierte cats multiply - with rapid speed.

Now you can of course argue that his cat never leaves the apartment. However, in this case the driver of a female Rollig not be underestimated. In general, they use all their skill, somehow out of the apartment to escape if they have a hangover in the vicinity of suspects. The consequences are clear. And who can already guarantee that his cat never ausbüxt?

Another objection would be that we as a cat owners do not think about an unintended pregnancy must make his animal. That may be, but also for our animals, we should perhaps a little entitlement admit that we also have people with us: prevention goes to both!

Dear frustration instead of love lust

For some reason we humans tend to a somewhat romanticized idea of the love lives of our animals have. Especially when the cat has one independent nature of this in mind, what night by the grazing area and (love-) adventures. That the sexuality of animals but not something of a romantic relationship with a hot one-night stand together, it is certainly a clear, if we once experienced, like a hangover despair an entire night sung, or if you see how Rollig a female for days with a raised rear part crawls on the floor. The animals are under power, have stress, are restless, they eat and sleep less. Most lose queen during the Rollig weight. The same applies for a hangover while Deckperiode. That was more frustration rather than pleasure to do.

Incidentally, the Paarungsakt of cats is not romantic, but rather rough outline. The act takes a few seconds in which the cat with claws in the female and takes them with solid bite in the neck grabs. The ovulation of the cat will then conclude by the pain stimulus triggered by the withdrawal of the barbed versehnen penis caused. As I said, not very romantic and loving.

Of men (but also of women) comes close with the argument, a hangover was not a "whole guy" after castration. Interestingly, this argument in relation to female cats rarely or never. In any case, agrees that "the whole guy" argument does not. Hangovers remain even after a hangover castration still true. Some neutered cat cover even Rollig female. And in some cases are also still Rollig neutered female, usually because of a tiny piece of tissue during the removal of the ovary zurückgeblie 'convenience. If you want to stop this Rollig helps mostly syringe hormone, as a removal of tissue remnants is not possible.

The health love

After a castration the animals are calmer and more balanced overall. Therefore, the assumption cats after a castration would be bold and be lazy. This is certainly not the case when the animal enough exercise and a balanced diet has. Moreover, one should ask whether the sex drive by the stress triggered a really good way is a slim physique to maintain. True, that the animals free in less gear long distances lay back and not so far removed from home. This is not because they now have become lazy. Rather, the immense pressure, a great spot to defend, to as many chances for mating to have no longer exists. For many cats in times of the modern car traffic a perfectly lebensverlängernder circumstance. Moreover, it is rare among males castrated at Turf battles, and hence fewer injuries. Thus reduces the Ansteckungegefahr for FeLV (leucosis) and FIV ( "cat AIDS") - once again life-prolonging measures!
But the potency has not only indirect but also direct effects on health. Especially in female cats can be a recurring Rollig, to be met without serious health consequences such as Dauerrolligkeit due to hormonal over-burden, cysts, heavy Gebärmutterveiterungen and an increased propensity tumor of the uterus and have udders. Potente hangover faster prostate cancer.

And conclusion: It stinks!

Yes, it stinks. Potente hangover have a very intense self-odor. And what is worse: in most cases begins a potent hangover sometime in his spot with fragrant (each for any event, his nose) Urinspritzern mark. That does not necessarily mean only that they are somewhere outside the Katzenklos perform their business. Rather, look for the cat deliberately strange smelling bodies, which they partially raised with high tail spray. That can be freshly washed laundry or even the bed. Or the wall. Or the sofa. Everything is possible. In some cases begin very potent dominant Kätzinnen to beat her mark.

I've already experienced everything ... my Izi (a girl) has not only met her friend Fenya, this Rollig was when, but also generously to the kitchen wall on bookcase and her spot marked. What I am glad that now all are neutered.
So, in terms of animals and to protect their own nerves: Let your cats castrate!
