What are the effects of Spaying your pets?

LAYLA asked:


I understand WHY you should spay or neuter your pets, but what emotional changes does it bring if any?

We made the decision to get my 9 month old kitten spayed because she is having all sorts of problems when she’s in heat (it lasts for days, is frequent, etc.) — Originally I didn’t want to, but I figured I have to do it at this point.

Does it change their personality? Will it mellow her out or make her more agressive?

Not going into heat is the big change for females.
Males are less likely spray (they can) and are generally less aggressive towards other cats, less territorial.

That’s my experience.

Personally – I think cats should be licensed, like dogs, with a $100 “sin tax” for not having your cat neutered or spayed. That way, only the serious breeders working with high end breeds will neglect to do so – there are just too many cats having kittens, it is a very serious problem.

The proceeds from the sin tax could then subsidize spaying/neutering for low income families.

Thank you for having your cat spayed.

Weight gain, and in male cats their aggresive tendencies will drop off. Also on both males and females expect a slight drop in activity. If you have a male cat that typically stays outside be warned that his drop in aggresion may result in him being bullied by other no neutered males.
