For male cats, testicle tumors and prostate hypertrophy can be avoided due to estrus. In addition, male cats that frequently experience estrus are most likely to suffer from urinary occlusion because secretions are blocked. Sterilization surgery can fundamentally solve this problem.
First, male cats will not give birth to kittens, so it doesn't matter if they are sterilized,
Yes, male cats will not give birth to kittens directly, but they are indeed the "culprit" of female cats' pregnancy. In the work of group care, we have no way to guarantee that every female cat will be captured and sterilized. In a group of stray cats, as long as a female cat is not spayed, it will become a concentrated pursuit for male cats, because male cats have no other female cats to pursue. We can say that the chance of this female cat getting pregnant is 100%. According to our experience, female cats are often very wary due to the need to raise offspring, smarter and harder to catch than male cats. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the children in the womb, pregnant mothers will be more alert and difficult to get close to than ever before, and the success rate of trapping is also very low. Because stray cats are very mobile, even if all female cats in one area have been sterilized, the persevering male cats will travel long distances to find spouses in other areas and eventually succeed. As a responsible rescuer, you should not sit idly by and watch this happen.
Does cats really need sterilization? I will tell you three reasons for your own good. Second, will the male cats not be bullied by unsterilized male cats after being sterilized? Whether they are bullied is not determined by whether they are sterilized or not. On the contrary, even if the old and weak male cats are very strong, they will continue to challenge under the drive of nature. Although they are defeated repeatedly, they will fight again and again, and ultimately they will hurt themselves. Only sterilization can relieve the pain driven by nature, so that male cats no longer challenge each other to compete for their spouses and get hurt repeatedly.
Third, male cat sterilization is not simply to ensure that stray cat populations no longer reproduce, but also a necessary condition for ensuring the health of cats and allowing stray cats to live in harmony with the community. As we all know, male cats will inevitably have fights when they are in heat. Every fight has the potential for injury. When you watch the cats you take good care of day and night are scarred due to fighting and are skinny because of heat, do you still have the heart to let them continue? For a rebellious male cat, if it is injured, if it is infected with a disease or stress response in the hospital due to treatment, it will cause liver disease, and the owner will not be able to bear it. At the same time, trauma is also a way for cats to spread AIDS, so everyone must pay attention.
