Greetings cat friends. My cats are both neutered. I think the most significant change they have is that they now eat more, much more.
It’s very traumatic, this process of neutering, to the point that I already told my son that I don't want to have cats anymore so I don't have to neuter them. I prefer to inject them or give them pills to prevent them from impregnating the cats in the street.
My Copito who is my oldest cat and my first cat at home is very sweet… and he is also very traumatized. Everything scares him, he keeps jumping in the house for everything. If he sees me coming out of somewhere he is suddenly jumping in the air and if I jump because of something that happens to me, the next one to jump almost at the same time as me is him. He is even afraid of the door he passes through.
When he received the traumatism in his whole body he was scared and he overcame it little by little but after his castration he was much worse with his fears. Even so, he doesn't stop going to the street, he doesn't like to be locked up at home, he hits all the doors of the house with his body and howls loudly for us to let him out. He spends the night in the street and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night because he is fighting with a cat in the garden and I have to run out to protect him. It's a momentary thing because right away he fights again with another cat.
My Meme is the second cat, he is the most spoiled and treats me as if I am his cat mother and I have to please him in everything. He is very spoiled; he doesn't like meat flavored cat food and he only likes fish flavored cat food. If I don't listen to him he simply stops eating and can stare at me all day long with slitted eyes and won't eat until I bring him the fish flavored cat food.
When we had him neutered, they went overboard on the anesthesia, he would not wake up during the day and lost control of his bowels, he would vomit several times and when he woke up at night he started to walk without coordination, but still wanted to go out and would throw himself at the door of the house to get out. I opened the door to see his reaction and he wanted to jump into the street as asleep as he was. It was very hard for him.
They both hid so I wouldn't do the cure on their testicles that the vet told me to do, they wanted to do their own healing.
Now the two cats just sleep all day long outside in the garden, fighting with all the cats that come into the garden. They want to continue to play the boyfriends and fight for the cats that look for them in my garden.
Copito has been neutered for three months and Meme has been neutered for less than a month. They have a grudge against each other because they fight over the same cat that chooses them both. Sometimes they fight inside my house and I spray them with water to separate them, they then go to their favorite places and after a while the fight starts again.
Sometimes they treat each other with affection but most of the time they fight with growling, meowing, scratching and hair everywhere. I love them both. Each is a very special cat. Copito is friendly and sweet faced. Meme is playful and sleeps in the bed of whomever he pleases, sometimes in mine and sometimes with my son.
When he is upset, he looks at me with his eyes almost closed, as if he was angry, and turns his back to me and doesn't look at me anymore. He raises his ears because he knows I'm there but doesn't come near me, until the moon changes and he loves me again.
For me they are two children that I have at home, I love them. They affect me when they are bad and cheer me up when they are comfortable, they are cats of independent character but they depend on us and they make us feel that they are the ones who are in charge and God forbid that we should contradict them hehehehe... these are my cat children.
May God grant that little by little they change their way of being and stop fighting, fighting with every cat they see and start to stay calm at home.
