The best sterilization period for British shorthair cats is around 6-8 months of age. It doesn’t matter if you miss the best sterilization period. As long as the cat’s estrus period is staggered, the cat can be sterilized. If the owner does not plan to breed the cat, it is recommended that the cat be neutered as early as possible. Neutering cats can reduce or avoid the prevalence of reproductive diseases in cats, such as prostatitis, pyometra, mastitis, testicular cancer, etc.

What should be paid attention to when neutering cats:

1. Older cats need pre-operative examination. Before surgery, you need to fast for about 10 hours and water for about 8 hours.

2. After surgery, the cat needs to wear an Elizabethan ring to prevent it from licking.

3. The wound area should be kept dry and clean. You cannot eat until 8 hours after surgery.
