Cats should fast for 12 hours before neutering. In addition to fasting, cats must also deprive themselves of water for 8 hours before sterilization, because cats need to be anesthetized during sterilization, and the side effect of anesthesia is that it will cause vomiting. If the cat does not fast before sterilization, then Food in the stomach will reflux under anesthesia and may be accidentally inhaled into the trachea.

Benefits of cat sterilization
