3. For cats with long-term estrus, there will be abnormal mood, such as crying for spring, irritable temper, decreased appetite, etc. after sterilization, the mother cat will stop crying for spring, and the male cat will reduce the situation of disorderly urination.

What is the effect of sterilization on pet behavior?

Sterilization reduces sexual hormone induced behavioral problems, such as aggressive behavior in the presence of a male in the presence of an estrous female. For male cats, it is very important to reduce this behavior problem, because the non sterile male cats will use urination to delimit the land, and will have excessive behavior for animals invading the land.

Studies have shown that sterilization before 5 months may increase the fear of noise, but it can reduce separation anxiety and obedient urination.
