Feline Neutering and Cat Behavior Training

The # 1 trick to cat behavior training is found right under your cat's tail.  Here is how you can have a more cooperative and affectionate pet and enjoy greater success with training efforts.

Cat behavior training articles are the most searched for words in the world of cat care.  Would you be surprised to find out that the key to successful cat behavior modification is right under your cat's tail?

Well sort of.

Cat's that have been neutered or spayed tend to be less aggressive, more affectionate, and more cooperative during your behavior modification efforts.  Feline neutering and spaying is also the most frequently overlooked solution to the biggest cat behavior problem? 

Sometimes cat owners are concerned about the behavior changes that go along with spaying or neutering.  All veterinarians agree that the surgery does significantly change cat behavior.  It is all to the better.

Spraying urine is the #1 reason why people give up on a cat adoption, especially an older cat adoption. Similar to the way humans place fences around their property,  intact cats use their urine to mark their territory.  They also use the scent of their urine to attract the opposite sex, just like humans think they do when they dowse themselves with scents and colognes.

Neutered males and females are less likely to spray urine inside and outside of the house.  The source of the hormones that drive this urge to spray are eliminated through the spay or neutering surgery.  Altered cats have less urge to roam looking for a mate.

Behavior Problem #2 - Fighting

Roaming outdoors cats are much more exposed to fights and injuries, as well as infectious diseases.  These do nothing to improve his chances for a long life.  The extra medical treatment does nothing to improve your finances.  

Did we forget to mention that your cat's howling will be greatly reduced or she may totally stop that ruckus.  Howling is part of cat courting.  Altering your cat removes the hormones driving that obnoxious behavior.

Snip It Early

Traditionally, cats are spayed or neutered when they are around 6 months old.  However, cats can go into heat as early as 12 - 16 weeks old, so veterinarians are performing the procedure on kittens between  eight and 14 weeks of age.  This also prevents any bad hormonal driven activity like roaming, spraying and howling from getting started. 

Mr. Simon and Ms. Dee were neutered well after they began their naught spraying antics.  Our humans spend a lot of time mumbling words we can’t understand as they swab down newly sprayed walls, trashcans and other décor I promised not to share with the world.  They think that Ms. Dee and Mr. Simon are out to melt down the house.

Spaying or neutering your cat, especially at an early age, is our # 1 cat behavior training trick.  It  reduces or eliminates cat spraying, cat wandering, and cat howling.  Neutering turns your roaming, howling Queen or Tom into a sweet cooperative cat love child.
