consequences of neutering?

Question

disadvantages

Answer 1

LOTS of advantages (healthwise included) no disadvantages. it really is the best thing to do.

Answer 2

The only disadvantage I can think of is related to surgery in general, and not necessarily of having a *neuter* surgery. As with people, there is always a risk when you go under the knife.

However, the risk is so small and the advantages of being neutered outweigh it. Cats are healthier and live longer when de sexed. They don't become lazy or gain excessive amounts of weight, like some claim. If your cat is lazy, it's because that particular individual is lazy and de-sexing has nothing to do with it. Most of the weight "gain" is in what they call a "spay sway" and usually females get it. You'll notice it swing back and forth when the cat runs, hence the name. It's the excess skin in their belly area that just kinda droops. It's not necessarily fat, per say, but rather just saggy skin.

Answer 3

Real concern would be consequences of NOT neutering. In the reproductive life cycle of one tom and one queen, more than 17,000 unwanted kittens can be produced. Neutering is a straight-forward routine procedure, quite safe, and will end the high risk of a wandering or spraying tom.

Answer 4

There are no disadvantages. What do you want to do, keep all of those kittens, or sell them off for profit when we don't need more to the overpopulation? Neutering makes them more friendlier to other dogs

Answer 5

sometimes weight gain, but that is not necessarily a disadvantage.

Think of the positive not the negative and I can promise the positive out weighs the negative any day.

After neutering, you don't have to worry about him roaming and spraying everything that he comes near. He won't be as apt to go out and get into a fight.

Answer 6

I would say he cant breed- but just ask bob barker- the pet population needs to be controled- Get your pets spayed or neutered.
The advantages outway any disadvantage you can come up with.

Answer 7

In my experince it makes them a bit more lazy, and I mean other than the urge to roam thing. They just dont seem to play as much. But honeslty that isnt a big deal.

Answer 8

some times they gain weight (because they no longer roam) and its always possible they will have complications in surgery or get an infection, altough these things are very unlikley. A male cat may also not grow as large. .....( oh and it costs money)

Answer 9

Positive
-stays around the house if outside cat
-less aggressive
-more friendly

Negative
-can't have kits?
i actually don't see any negative to it. I got two of my cats neutered, and two of my cats spied. That was two years ago, and they are still as loving as ever.I recomend it.

Answer 10

There really isn't any consequences of neutering/spaying your animal.
