Mating season can be difficult for your unsuspecting cat.
During mating season, the surge in hormones can cause many unpleasant changes in your cat's behavior. Female cats often cry, rub against objects and scream in pain, while male cats can smell an unsuspecting female cat from miles away and often wander far from home to find them.
Your child may have a child.
Did you know that kittens can get pregnant? Kittens under four months of age can become pregnant very easily, so it is best to have them neutered by this age. There are no health benefits to allowing your cats to breed before neutering.
Your cat may be more agitated during mating season.
During mating season, male and females cats are more likely to assert their dominance by constantly marking their territory. This behavior is a result of the hormonal changes that occur during this time and is often related to mating.
Cats that are not neutered are more aggressive.
In an effort to defend their territory, male cats that are not neutered are more likely to fight with other cats. They are often very territorial and fighting with unvaccinated cats can risk injury or disease.
