If you are a cat owner, you are familiar with cat "concerts" in March and beyond.

What should an animal owner do in such cases?

There are several possible scenarios for how further events may develop.

"It will pass by itself, it will scream and stop, it will go crazy" - underline the necessary yourself. This option is suitable for very patient owners, ready to listen to cat roulades at any time of the day or night, with repeat concerts in two or three weeks.

"Murka, go for a walk." This is suitable if for some reason you want to get rid of the cat.

After all, free-roaming is fraught with many dangers: the animal can get injured, suffer from dogs, and even worse - from people, and in the worst case - simply die.

Even if the cat comes back, after nine weeks you will be in for a not very pleasant “bonus” in the form of kittens.

"Magic drops". A variant from the category "we cure one thing, but cripple another". Drops or tablets will discourage the desire to reproduce, but at the same time will contribute to the development of a number of diseases in your pet. Most often, these are mastitis, breast cancer, uterine or ovarian tumors.

"Only operate." There is a lot of debate about sterilization. But it is important to take one thing into account: you should not operate only in cases where the cat's pedigree is no worse than that of a monarch, if she wins prizes at exhibitions, if there is a five-year waiting list for her kittens. And you are an experienced breeder.

In other cases, veterinarians advise sterilizing the animal. After the operation, your pet will become much calmer, will avoid the occurrence of a number of diseases, in general - will live a long and carefree life.

Veterinarians are also supported by animal rights activists - the operated cat does not produce offspring, which significantly reduces the number of stray animals on the streets.

Also, sterilized cats lose their desire to run away from home, which reduces the number of lost animals.

Remember, no matter which of the options presented you choose, you are responsible for those you have tamed. Therefore, it is up to you to decide!
