Many times, in order to save trouble, we pet owners will take their cat owners for sterilization at the appropriate stage to cut off all kinds of troubles caused by cats in estrus. However, various situations may occur after cats are sterilized. Some friends said that their cats will urinate after being sterilized. So what is the reason why cats urinate even if they are sterilized? Let’s take a look~
1. Hormone factors
If a female cat has just undergone sterilization surgery, the sex hormone level in the body will not decrease immediately, so under the action of residual hormones, the female cat will still urinate. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. As time goes by, the hormones in the cat's body can recover when they return to normal levels. It may take about 3-6 months to metabolize.
2. Stress reaction
Cats are very sensitive to environmental changes. If a female cat has recently changed into a new environment or is frightened, it may cause stress reactions, and symptoms such as urination, trembling, decreased appetite, and hiding. In this regard, the owner needs to touch the cat's head or back with his hands in time to relieve the cat's nervousness.
3. Habit problem
If the female cat has already been in estrus before sterilization, after sterilization, because the hormones in the body have not been fully metabolized, it will continue to retain some of its previous behavioral habits and mark them. In this regard, you can buy disinfectant that can eliminate the smell of pets marked, spray it in the place where the female cat urinates, and then clean it so that it cannot smell the urine, so that it can avoid the cat urinating randomly.
4. Suffering from urinary system diseases
If a female cat suffers from urinary system diseases, such as urinary tract infection, bladder inflammation, urethral blockage, etc., stimulation of inflammation and other factors will cause the cat to urinate randomly, and may also be accompanied by mental depression, loss of appetite, frequent urination, etc. In severe cases, the female cat will also make painful screams or whimpers, and the urine is turbid or mixed with blood. If a female cat is found to have such abnormal urination behavior, it is recommended to take the female cat to the pet hospital for examination immediately, determine the specific cause, and then take corresponding medication or other methods for treatment.
