It is better to neuter male British shorthair cats when they are 8 to 12 months old. Generally speaking, the best time for neutering is when the cat’s sexual organs are relatively mature and before the first estrus. The specific decision should be made based on the cat’s personality changes and development. Don’t spay or neuter your cat too early or too late. If the cat owner has no need for breeding the cat, it is recommended that the cat owner take the cat for sterilization at the appropriate age.

Precautions before sterilizing British short male cats:

1. The cat needs to be deprived of food and water for 24 hours before the operation, because the anesthetic will cause the cat to vomit. , if there is food, it is easy to block the trachea and nasal cavity.

2. Take a bath one week before the operation, and do not take a bath for one month after the operation.

3. Observe whether the cat’s diet, sleep, defecation and urination are normal, and vaccinate the male cat 15 days before surgery to ensure that the cat has a good health.

4. Prepare a large, flat box for the male cat that can accommodate the size of the cat.

5. Prepare a clean mattress and bedding for the cat, so that the cat can have a comfortable sleeping environment after surgery.
