For us, especially lovers of small animals such as cats, of course, we are no stranger to the term sterilization. So, sterilization or what we call castration is the surgical removal of the reproductive organs of both male and female animals.

However, we need to know that the term for the removal of reproductive organs in male and female animals is different

The term castration/castration is used for male animals in the form of removal of the testicles, while in females, the uterus and ovaries are removed which is called ovariohisterectomy.

Sterilization of animals is not dangerous and is not an act of torturing animals because the operation is carried out under the influence of anesthesia and of course it can only be done by medical personnel, namely veterinarians.

Animal sterilization has many pros and cons, but animal sterilization has many benefits. By doing sterilization we can reduce the aggressive nature of animals, especially when the animal is in heat.

In females, sterilization can reduce the risk of diseases such as uterine infections and mammary tumors. It can also prevent animals from urinating indiscriminately and can reduce the risk of testicular cancer in male animals.

Not only does it have benefits for the animal itself, but sterilization can suppress overpopulation in animals such as cats

Cats are animals that can give birth to up to 12 tails in a year. In addition, dogs are also capable of giving birth to as many as 16 children. Therefore, if there is an overpopulation, it will have an impact on the welfare of the animal itself and it is proven that currently many animals, especially cats, are neglected. By suppressing the overpopulation so as to avoid cases of abandoned and dead animals.

So, don't be afraid to sterilize your pet because this action will bring many benefits to us and the animal itself.
