Many people believe that it is important to sterilize a domestic cat so that it does not produce offspring for its owner.
However, such a procedure can lead to negative consequences.
Sterilization of cats can cause a number of diseases, including oncology. The Moscow Agency reports details, citing felinologist Elena Shevchenko.
It is noted that sterilization and castration differ from each other.
According to Shevchenko, castration involves removing the female cat's uterine appendages and appendages, and the male cat's testicles. This leads to the loss of sexual behavior.
The felinologist added that sterilization involves tying the tubes in female cats and the cords in male cats. After this procedure, the animals still have sexual status. If the pet's desires are not satisfied, this can lead to diseases.
Taking this into account, the specialist advises giving preference to castration.
In addition, Shevchenko recommended closing the balcony and doors to prevent the animal from escaping.
