March 3, 2006, Newsletter Issue #106: Cats in heat conclusion - Spaying and Neutering
Tip of the Week
Male cats do not go into heat. They respond to the hormonal changes in a female catīs body.
Males have a mating call, too, which will continue until another male cat has fought and defeated him, or until he impregnates the female cat.
If males are not neutered, they will develop behaviors that are perfectly normal, but undesirable in pets.
Male cats will mark their territory with urine, also known as spraying if they are not altered at 6 months old. This includes the bushes, tress, the front door-inside and outside, furniture, and carpets. Deficating is also a means of marking his territory (leaving solid waste outside of the litter box.)
Males become more agressive and less affectionate if they are not altered at 6 months old.
Trust me, it is easier, safer, and much more pleasant to have your male cat neutered at 6 months old.
