About a week. At this time, the cat's wound has basically recovered, and there is no need to worry about inflammation caused by the cat licking the wound. Pet owners can also observe the male cat's surgical wound by themselves. If they find that the wound has healed, it means that the Elizabethan ring can be removed. The purpose of the Elizabethan Circle is to prevent the cat from licking the wound after surgery and causing infection.

Benefits of cat sterilization:

1. Neutering can effectively reduce the occurrence of reproductive system diseases in cats, such as pyometra, ovarian lesions, breast tumors, and testicles. Cancer, etc. can be avoided or reduced.

2. Because they no longer need to worry about courting, they are more tolerant of the same kind, especially those of the same gender, because there is no other competition between them except for food.

3. Neutered cats will become very close to people. Neutered cats are much less aggressive, and their frequency of attacks will also be much less.

4. Extend the life of cats. According to survey reports, the life span of sterilized cats is 2 to 3 years longer than that of unneutered cats, so many cat owners choose to have their cats sterilized.
