The health benefits of your cat’s castration or stage

Published

on


The castration or sterilization of your cat is not just overwhelming and reduces unwanted litters. Did you know that it can also have an important impact on health and behavior? Here is a list of just some of the benefits:

  • Largely reduces the possibility of marking in spray both in men and females. Do not be mistaken about it: intact cats will be sprayed.
  • The reduced risk of cats that escape outdoors, driven by their impulse to mate.

  • Outdoor allowed cats will be less likely to wander and fight.
  • Roaming can cause cats to be lost, blow cars or attack larger predators.
  • There is a reduced possibility of serious or abscess injuries to fight between men who compete for territory when they are looking for women.
  • The risk of testicular cancer in men is eliminated and reduces the possibilities of enlarged prostate.
  • Women will not have to withstand the painful mating process often violent.

  • Sterilization before the first heat cycle of the female protects it from the development of ovarian and uterine cancer, as well as piometra (uterine infection). It also greatly reduces the possibilities of developing breast cancer.
  • In females, the relentless stress is eliminated that repeated heat cycles are eliminated in the body.
  • The reduced risk of contracting infectious diseases (such as IVF and FELV) transmitted when cats bite during fights or when they look away.
  • The reduced possibilities of aggressive behavior towards family members and other pets at home.
  • Repeated behavior of tosques/calls from females in heat is eliminated. This will also reduce the probability that intact men hang out of their home.
  • Your cat’s behavior will not be driven by hormones.

Do you need more information?

If you have questions or concerns about surgery or anesthesia risks, talk to your cat’s veterinarian. Do not wait until the unwanted behavior of having an intact cat begins to show. It is recommended that cats be castrated or sterilized at the age of five. Your veterinarian will offer personalized orientation based on your cat’s health and circumstances.

Does the snoring always mean that a cat is happy?

Published

on


Cat lovers are well familiar with the relaxing buzz of a cat’s snoring and generally associate it with satisfaction and relaxation, but the complexities behind this subtle sound extend far beyond mere happiness. Cats are irrigated by a variety of reasons, offering us some ideas about their psychology and physiology.

Slipping serves many functions

With what most people are related is the scenario of a relaxed and happy cat in a lap while stroking gently. Many people assume that if the cat is snoring, everything is fine. Not always. Ronaronar is more complex than that. Cats can snort when they are scared or threatened, possibly as a means to calm or appease a perceived threat. Like a nervous person, he smiles in an insecure situation, a cat’s snoring during moments of anguish serves as a soothing mechanism, helping them to deal with anxiety or perceived danger and, hopefully, to calm an opponent potential.

Pain relief

This selfolegation behavior and the therapeutic capacity of snoring extend to the times of pain, illness or injury, where it serves as help in pain relief. It is known that females, for example, purify during childbirth.

The role of snoring in early life

The importance of snoring extends to the first moments of cat’s life, since kittens begin to purr shortly after birth. This helps the mother track their babies. Deaf and blind born, newborns also trust their mother’s snoring vibrations to help it, starting the union in those first days.

The curative slice

The benefits of the ronrona do not end there. The investigation suggests that the frequency of a cat can contain healing properties, potentially accelerating bone repair and injury recovery.

The cat’s slice is much more than a simple expression of satisfaction. It is a multifaceted tool and a therapeutic aspect of feline life, for service purposes that range from emotional to physical.

Each cat is unique

With many cats, the slice is audible. It may look like the soft buzz of the best engine, or it may sound like one that has long been tuning. Other cats can have such a quiet slice that he only knows his presence for the soft vibration.

From moments of satisfaction to times of anguish, from the first minutes of life to the last hours, the slice serves as a cat’s constant partner.

Why are cats afraid of cucumbers?

Published

on


Cat’s videos have always been extraordinarily popular on YouTube, but more recently pet owners have captured a newer phenomenon: cats going crazy in cucumbers.
In these videos, cat owners sneak over their pets while they eat, placing a cucumber behind them.
Once the cats finish eating and turning around, they face the cucumber and react jumping and surround them to flee

But why exactly this behavior happens?

Cats are always on alert

As natural predators until the end, even the most lazy cats are aware of their surroundings and the search for dams

Confusing cucumbers with snakes?

As natural predators until the end, even the most lazy cats are aware of their surroundings and the search for dams

Their survival instinct is afraid of everything, intermittent lights to noisy cat toys. Unknown objects that appear at random near them can start them.

Confusing cucumbers with snakes?

While it may not be the cucumber itself that scares the cat, it is the general change in the environment that can evoke an scared reaction.

If something has been silently in the environment in its presence, the cat could easily confuse the cucumber with a predator who prepares to attack.

Pepinos are long and green, which can make cats think that a snake has dragged behind them.

Is it cruel to scare a cat with a cucumber?

He can be tempting to try to scare his feline friend with a cucumber based on the perceptibly fun reactions that he probably obtains, but in reality this could be relatively cruel to his cat.

To deceive his cat to think that a dangerous animal has sneaked behind him or she can cause traumatic stress, and do it repeatedly could even lead to more aggressive or other worrying behavior, or even result in the PTSD in some cases.

You will not want to hire a pet travel service to take your friend to a retirement

Cats can also be injured when they try to maneuver around cucumber, jumping to nearby counters or other objects that result in injuries, or can break close valuable items.
However, if you have completely lost your head and want your cat to become familiar with an inanimate cucumber as a partner for life, it is better if you present the cucumber directly instead of being placed behind them, since they probably never get along if the latter continues to happen.

Try to resist the impulse to leave a “cucumber surprise” for your cat

Even if you simply want to present a cucumber as a surprise gift for a cat, which would be strange considering that there is nothing interest in them for a feline, it would do well to avoid awakening their stress and instead arouse their curiosity.

And although cucumber will finally never hurt the cat, the cat will probably have the same reaction again and again every time it presents itself as a surprise.
One way to see this differently is to imagine that someone is constantly dropping a false spider when you have Arachnophobia.

It would not be so fun, and although it is possible that you do not fall eventually, a cat will probably not learn that it is just a joke.
So, avoid doing your cat’s trick on your cat, since it does more damage than good
