It's time for cats to have estrus. The cats' various estrus behaviors make the cat shovelers both upset and distress. We have specially summarized the methods of how to relieve male cats' estrus. Come and have a look.
1. Perform sterilization surgery
male cats will start to estrus around 6 months old, and may attract cats of the opposite sex during the estrus by urinating and howling. If the owner wants to fundamentally solve the problem of cat estrus, he can take it to a pet hospital for sterilization after the male cat is in estrus. This can not only reduce the pain during the male cat's estrus, but also reduce the occurrence of reproductive system diseases.
In addition, before the male cat undergoes sterilization, it is necessary to check whether there are any abnormalities in the mental state, appetite, urine and defecation, body temperature, etc. to ensure that the male cat is in a healthy state before the operation can be performed.
2. Breeding
If the male cat is already an adult, the owner can choose to breed the male cat, and the cat will calm down after breeding. However, if a male cat is still underage, it cannot be bred, mainly because the male cat has poor sperm activity, which can easily lead to difficulty in conception or abnormal fetal development of the female cat.
In addition, when breeding male cats, you also need to choose a female cat of the same breed and a healthy physique. Moreover, this method can treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Every spring and autumn, male cats will continue to estrus.
3. Divergence
Male cats will have a more irritable temper when in heat. If the owner does not want to breed the cat and does not want to sterilize it, then you can only comfort the cat more to make it feel relaxed and find ways to divert the cat's attention. For example, you can temporarily change the feeding environment to shift the cat's attention to adapting to the new environment, or prepare more toys and snacks for the cat, so that it will rest when it is tired of playing.
However, this method only plays a temporary role, and male cats are estrus animals. If they are not sterilized and have no chance of breeding, male cats will have more severe estrus and the interval between estrus will be shortened.
Note: During the period of male cats in estrus, they may also jump out of windows or run away from home for the sake of courtship. Therefore, during the period of male cats in estrus, the owner needs to pay special attention to the movements of male cats. It is recommended to close the doors and windows in normal times to avoid accidents such as running away from home or jumping off a building.
