Why do cats get fat after sterilization? Sterilization will reduce the hormone levels in cats, thereby reducing or eliminating the estrus period and reducing their aggression, fighting spirit and roaming desire. Due to the decrease in hormones, cats may have a lower metabolic rate, resulting in a decrease in their energy consumption and easily lead to weight gain.
In addition, sterilized cats may experience anxiety and depression due to the loss of reproductive behavior, resulting in increased appetite and weight gain.
Therefore, cats after sterilization are prone to weight gain, and they need to pay attention to controlling their diet and providing appropriate exercise to maintain a healthy weight. In addition, cats can be provided with some toys, suspended toys, etc. to relieve their anxiety and depression, to help them adapt to the new lifestyle. After sterilization, the hormone levels in the body are significantly reduced, and the endocrine system will be disordered and adjusted. Hypothyroidism is hypothyroidism, and the metabolic level is reduced. These are the direct causes of obesity.
This is similar to human menopause. Women are relatively slim when they are young. After menopause, due to the aging of the ovaries, insufficient secretion of estrogen and slowing metabolism, they will become bloated. Of course, there are also great individual differences.
But no scientific survey data shows that sterilization will make cats fat. The main reason why sterilized cats become fat is that they eat too much and lack exercise due to being more at home.
Therefore, it will be healthier to maintain a normal living state after sterilization, a reasonable diet and moderate exercise. In addition, many well-known cat food brands have also launched sterilized cat foods, providing the most balanced nutrition for the survival status of sterilized cats.
Therefore, cats will gain weight after sterilization may also be caused by various reasons. This does not mean that cats will gain weight after sterilization. Our owners should also pay attention to the cat's condition after sterilization, pay attention to a good diet, and control nutritional absorption problems.
Perform appropriate exercise to keep the cat in good condition to prevent it from becoming fat.
