How A Male Cat Has The Neutering Procedure Carried Out

The vet will put him to sleep and give him oxygen through a mouthpiece to ensure he's as comfortable as possible. They'll then shave a bit of fur around the cats scrotum. This lets them see better what they're doing and where as they need to make a tiny incision to get to the cats parts. They're then tied together usually before being removed.

Once the vets satisfied that the cats in good health following the surgery, you'll be able to take him home the same day. You'll be given information leaflets concerning some adverse reactions that may take place but they'll have a phone number to get in touch with your vet for any concerns you have.
The Procedure For The Neutering Of A Female Cat
The neutering cats procedure for a female cat is better known as having her sprayed. The anesthetic can be injected into her front leg and within minutes she's out for the count. Then there's a small operation that requires a bit of fur to be shaved off along the cats side. From there the vet can make a tiny incision to get under the cats skin (no pun intended) and access the cats uterus. At that point the vet can carry the procedure out. A vet does have to do the operation as the cats kidneys and the bladder are not far from where the overies are being worked on. So a professional needs to carry out the surgery.
The procedures are sometimes to complex to understand fully what's going to happen. Seeing a video of the process might help to understand the procedures better. neuteringcats.net has videos of both a male and a female cat being neutered.

Cats will display behavioral changes once they have been dressed. These aren't huge changes but they contribute a lot to your cat becoming more relaxed around you and your family. Since they don't feel the need to find a mating partner they'll be much more likely to stay around the home and enjoy the TLC that you're able to provide him/her. The most noted changes in their behavior is that male cats won't be as territorial and often stop leaving a trail of urine around the home as they go about marking their territory. For female cats they will be a lot more calmer and enjoy a more tranquil life with you as they won't be calling out as they otherwise would do. That happens when a female cat is in season. It's that dreadful screeching sound that can keep you up most nights as with their loud cries going out to male cats. Once she's dressed her hormones will calm down and that stops her from calling. She'll then appreciate the TLC that you are able to provide for her and the cat will enjoy being around the house a lot more. They make for much more friendlier and adorable pets.

They can do this at least twice a year. A litter can have anywhere from 2 to 6 kittens each cycle. So per year a female can produce 12 kittens. If half of those are female that's 6 kittens the following year going through the same cycle producing even more kitties. That one litter can go on to produce about 72 kittens the following year and even more as the others fall pregnant. They're not long in multiplying.
