Spraying cats is something that is commonly recognized by the cat raising industry and has many benefits for cats. But some cat shovelers still can't bear to do this. What happens if the cat is not spayed? What are the consequences of cats not being sterilized? Next, let’s take a look at the impact of cats not being sterilized.

1. Increase the chance of reproductive diseases

Cats who are not spayed have higher probability of reproductive system diseases, such as prostatitis and testicular diseases in male cats, and uterine saccharitis, uterine inflammation, breast cancer, endometritis, ovarian cysts, ovarian tumors and other diseases. The risk of illness in cats after spay will be greatly reduced or avoided.

2. Disturbing people's rest

If a cat is not sterilized, it will scream day and night during the estrus period to disturb the owner's rest. Male cats will suck, urinate, howling in the middle of the night, and female cats will frequently have estrus, change their temperament, and will also suck, urinate and scream.

3. Increase the probability of cats running out and losing out

Cats in estrus are likely to always want to slip out of their homes due to physiological needs, thereby increasing the probability of cats running out and losing out. If the doors and windows of the home are not closed properly, the cat may also have an accident of falling from a high place.

4. Personality becomes irritable

As the cat grows older and is in a situation without mating for a long time, it will also lead to the cat's personality being irritable, aggressive, and not getting close to others.
