Before sterilization, a cat must give birth once: myth or truth
If you are a cat owner who is considering spaying your pet, you may have come across the recommendation that the cat must give birth before the procedure can be performed.
This is what unscrupulous veterinarians say.
What is their benefit? It's simple: it is much easier to sterilize an animal that has already given birth, since its organs become larger.
But the cat itself does not necessarily have to go through pregnancy and childbirth.
These conditions wear out the body and pose a risk to the life and health of the animal, and sometimes lead to an exacerbation of chronic diseases.
However, early sterilization has other advantages: it has been found to reduce the risk of breast cancer, and the operation itself is easier for young cats to tolerate.
Some advocates of spaying cats after giving birth argue that they want to give them the joy of motherhood.
In fact, even if you treat your pet like a person, she is still guided by instincts, so the cat will not suffer much if she remains childless.
