It is believed that sterilization and castration have a positive effect on the lifestyle of cats and cats. After such measures in animals life expectancy increases, they become calmer and not at all nervous. As for cats, after castration they stop marking all the corners in the house, which is so annoying to the owners.
In addition, in sterilized animals, appetite is very high. And this means that with an improper diet, animals can begin to excessively gain weight and, as a result, lie more.
It is also worthwhile to understand that after such operations, the hormonal background changes in animals, as a result of which cats and cats become susceptible to various diseases, including ICD (urolithiasis). Due to fluid stagnation in the bladder, animals urinate less, sand and stones can form in their kidneys and urinary canal, which often leads to cystitis. Cats are especially prone to this (due to physiological characteristics).
To avoid this, animals are shown a special diet.
