Even if they are not in pain, I still wonder if any of us want to be spayed because a different species, want to cuddle with you, and keep you in their home, and this will make you live longer!
For those wondering, the tears are artificial tears used to moisten the cats eyes during surgery. The surgery to spay and neuter your cat is comfortable, as they are under anesthesia and then given pain medication, but trips to the vet can be stressful in general. However, spaying and neutering are important to both prevent reproductive disease and pregnancy, as well as helping to gradually lower the population of stray cats. Be sure to let your cat rest alone after the surgery and get a check up a few weeks later.

You neutered your cat for your own personal reasons the fact that you couldn’t think outside of your own possessions makes me question your ability to be a good person you took the only thing that makes life worth living from your so-called friend
@@shyland4534there are various reasons why people do it. For me, i did it cause she had pyometra for my older cat and for my younger she also had issues and her sexual organs were inflamed making her be in heat without any breaks for months
My female cat used to hate everyone and everything, she was severely traumatized, I got her spayed and all for that went away. Suddenly she was following me around, demanding to be by myself all the time. She went from underweight to a very healthy floofy baby
@@doemgt40 _Why?_ Do you not want your cat to live a longer, healthier life? Or are you one of those people that think cats don’t have an overpopulation problem?
Winston was out of it for hours. He just sat in one spot as if dazed and confused. When we found Tigre, we were so grateful that she couldn't become pregnant. Then I had to give them to a friend of mine because we were moving somewhere else. It upset Tigre so much that she stayed upstairs and came down only to eat in our friends' home. And Winston shut down, too. It was too much for them. Be very careful when giving cats away.
I'm glad both my boys were neutered before I got them. The are both different types of siamese so they are like velcro kittes. They were actually my old roommates. He helped me get away from an abusive relationship by renting me his basement. We left the door to the basement open and both cats came downstairs and cuddled with me all the time. I lived there for 3 years and once the boys came downstairs they never really went back up to cuddle with him so he got a bulldog. When I was packing up all my things he told me I can have the cats since they are extremely attached to me. Both my boys have a different upbringing. George was with a man that had stage 4 cancer and couldn't take care of him anymore. My roommate adopted him and then wanted to get him a friend because he worked a lot. Blue came from a very abusive home he was extremely under weight and scared of everything. When he was in the cage at the SPCA he was hiding in the back corner and wouldn't look at anyone. He has those pocket doors so George knew how to open them. Blue was in a bedroom by himself just to calm him down. George opened the door and instantly started cleaning him and cuddling. That helped Blue so much. Once Blue came downstairs he slowly started inching closer to me and then he started to sleep right up against me. It took about 4 years before he would jump up on my lap and now sleeps on me for hours lol.
My cat got way more cuddly after getting neutered. Also, i rather recommend a cat body instead of a collar, its better for their movement and eating. Plus, they look cute in their little swimming suits
I call it a pyjama. My cats HATED it with passion. When the youngest was wearing it, the oldest would NOT get close to her (I think she has trauma with it due to how she was hissing). They both took it out in like, the first hour they were home, and the youngest cat infected the wound after that, but the oldest didn't.
Soon after I adopted a 4YO cat he had to go in for surgery. When I came to pick him up, he was howling and hissing until I called out to him. Then he was quiet. He knew Daddy was here to take him home. He loved me more after that.
The cat must be thinking that you're the hero who saved his life from those strangers (vet).. Little did he know that you're the one who put him in that situation.
Poor babies. I remember when I brought my fur baby home and she had been neutered. I felt so bad for her. I could only imagine how much pain she was in. I was so grateful that she healed up with no problems. Love you soooo much Orion 😍 😘💞💓!!!
It's wrong to put the information out this way. It makes people not want to neuter their cats anymore. Neutering the cats is very important tho. For their health, your home and because of the Overpopulation. This video makes people feel like they should not neuter their cats since if you love you cats you dont want to hurt them. So yeah.... with sensitive topics like this please think about the way you bringing your information across. Edit: since people are fighting in the comments let me clear things Up. Of course neutering is necessary and the best for your cat. All I am saying is that the information could've been brought across more positively to encourage people to neuter their Cats. Showing pain, suffering and "tears" (i know they aren't crying but it still has a psychological effect on Humans) makes people think twice about doing it and makes it a Harder decision than it should be.
The way they present the information stresses how important it is to go through the whole neutering journey with proper care and caution to have the best results with our cats. It's not bad at all except maybe they could add some informative text that the cats aren't actually crying tears, but just drops to keep their eyes from drying during the surgery. Anyone who misunderstands the video might be a bit lacking in comprehension 😅 none of the content in the video made me not want to neuter my cat. It just gave me confidence that I'll be more prepared to handle the neutering and support my cat through the experience.
@@Chiller-pc1dv it's definitely not a fun experience for cats, and since it's stressful, it's not exactly wrong to think they might be suffering during the process, but that's exactly why we should be doing what we can to ease the experience for them because at the end of the day it gives them countless benefits and helps them live longer, healthier lives.
@@8uff3r 'more comfort' how misinformed can you be 💀 neutering not only prevents your cat and YOU from being irresponsible and getting other cats pregnant, but more importantly it prevents them from developing reproductive diseases later on in life.
For everyone saying that neutering is cruel, please educate yourself on the long term health benefits of neutering your cat... Edit: My links keep getting deleted so I'll state facts that I have fact checked. If you still don't trust me, you can fact check them yourselves. 1. Neutered cats are often less stressed than un-neutered cats. Their hormones are not like human hormones. 2. Neutering completely removes the risk of reproductive-organ-related issues. 3. Neutering stops cats from spray urinating. 4. Neutered cats are less aggressive. 5. Neutering your cats control the cat population. 6. Neutered cats have a decreased risk of UTIs. 7. Neutered cats don't run the risk of testicular cancer. 8. Due to the reduction of certain diseases, neutered cats often live longer than their counterparts. 9. Neutered cats don't run the risk of perianal tumors. 10. Neutered cats don't run the risk of perianal hernias. 11. Neutered cats don't run the risk of perianal adenomas. 12. Tying into one of the points above, *certain* types of cancers don't or extremely-rarely occur in neutered cats. 13. Neutered cats don't suffer from mating frustrations. 14 Neutered cats will generally get along better with other pets than their counterparts. These are only a few of the benefits. As I said, I've fact checked every single one, but if you don't trust me, feel free to do so yourself. Edit: Will be off for a long time, so if I do not respond to your reply, that's why. Stay safe, everyone.
Our cat, akira, got neutered while I was in school and my mom and her friend picked him up. After he left the transporter, he sticked with me the whole time like before too. Wadled after me, layed down on me and refused leaving me but his personality never changed at all
The vet gave mine but she didn't want. But she ate when she reached home. She spent a day and 1 night at the vet and those were the longest day and night of my life. I was worried and wondering what might she be doing
This should not stop anyone from doing it! It doesn't matter where you're from, you've seen at least one stray in your life and the numbers are sky rocketing because people aren't fixing their responsibilities.
I don't see how any of this implies not spaying/neutering though. It's largely just: your cat will associate you negatively with the surgery if it sees you during the procedure, and common sense items EG: they'll be slight physically/emotionally different, don't let them lick a surgery site, don't feed until anesthesia has worn off. If anything it's advice on how to get a cat neutered without distancing or inadvertently hurting them afterwords
Sometimes the animal changes completely just got a boxer the other day he was full of energy now he god bless if wants to walk around the block he feels betrayed I would too !!
Nowadays it is a matter of money and it’s not irresponsible to put you family above a cat.. our financial system, medical system, well it just isn’t what it once was
I'm so glad we were told about the tears..if u didn't tell us that didn't know that they were artificial tears..bc seeing that was breaking my heart..thank u for the info..I can breathe comfortably now!
Not sure if you want more info but if you do: "Cats use their tear ducts as a way to keep their eyes moist and to combat dirt, dust, and other foreign items from getting into them. Cat's tears do not run down their face like us humans, instead, the tears are shed through little ducts from the eyes to the nose."
cats have way thinner tearducts than humans compared to themselves making it literally impossible for them to cry like humans + they havent developed crying throughout evolution like humans did, if they feel sad they would only meow constantly
@@lukasback6019 Look, I know they may be usually dramatic pets/animals, but I'm a cat person, and I can feel how much pain cats experience. I'm not sure how to describe this though.
Don't forget number 6 especially for kittens: I don't realize I'm injured and will continue to try to jump while high on anesthetic so please don't have me rest in a room with counters for the first few hours
I took my little feral kitten in with his littermates to be fixed & then adopted through the local Humane Society. But he had a bit of a temperature, so he had to come back home with me. When I picked him up and was sitting in my car, I took him out of the carrier. When he realized it was me, he wrapped his teeny legs around my neck and PURRED like a pro (haha) and has been a super affectionate cat ever since. It was nice to be his "hero".❤
@@mysterroniouscherry326do you realize how many starts there are in the world? They don't need to procreate anymore than what they already have and not to mention all the cats that we can't get or know about. We can't fix all of them but fixing most of them would really help them from not living a lonely suffering life. Animal shelters all around my area are so overwhelmed with cats because nobody wants to spay and neuter them that normally you'd have to pay 70$ to adopt now they're literally just giving them to people for FREE. Because they're so overwhelmed with cats and kittens. Spaying and neutering is better than not. If you really love cats then you wouldn't want to see them on the streets as they are. Smh.
This is just blatant anti-neutering propaganda. I work with an animal rescue. We get hundreds of cats a year, and each one goes home fixed. All are perfectly fine and there are actually significant health and behavioral benefits to fixing your pet.
That's how it felt to me they could have done this without showing all the horror stuff. This actually made me feel bad I put my babies and all the tnr strays I took in to be fixed.
Not anti neutering simply informative. After all it is a fairly common surgery in some countries that people may fail to realise the effects from the cats perspective. It IS traumatic for them.
@kylieharrison3782 It's a surgery. Any surgery to anything is going to be traumatic. However, this is a small procedure and hardly traumatic. Like with humans, the animals aren't awake for the procedure, and they're put on pain medication to help them during recovery. The worst the experience is confusion and disorientation after they wake up. After that though, they are completely fine. I've seen it probably more than hundreds of times
@lusgarcias4689 That's just one of the terms that's used, it's shorter and a gender-neutral term. The proper name for females is a spay, and for males it's a neuter.
My friend had a very active playful cat, perfectly healthy always running, after they got her lady parts removed the cat just like the video said became a very lazy cat, she doesnt go outside as much and has gained a lot of Wright, I still love the Chubby Kitty tho
@noexcuses5524 that good, it cruel that people neuter in the first place like use your head what do you thinks going to happen when a cat all of a sudden doesn't have the right hormone levels, it fucks everything up.
@steelcorpse1 how is it cruel to decrease their chances of getting cancers as well as other things that neutering prevents? There's literally hundreds of kittens on the street that don't make due to amount of strays in the street and mother cats that aren't able to care for all of them. People don't spay and neuter to be cruel-I swear there always has to be some person crying abuse or cruelty under ever animal video smh. If you're this sensitive, pets aren't for you
@@BettyBrown-jt4fh people have just grown soft, anything and everything is seen as animal abuse nowadays, give it a few more years and horse riding will be illegal and it will be illegal to let your cat outside because they will eat birds or some shit and you wouldnt be allowed to keep birds anymore at all because its animal abuse to keep them in cages even if you let them out for the daytime
I never neutered my cat she lived until she was 19 years old! She had a litter of 5 and gave them to my family and saved one for my daughter and me. R.I.P my little baby. 😢(her name was Lola)
So sorry about your cat Lola,my previous cat kitty clouds passed away 2015,thenIn 2016 I got Jerry a tabby cat he was 7 weeks old when I got him he's now 7 years old ❤
Losing my cat on Mother’s Day hearing these cats cry is making me wail in tears. He was my soulmate. I had another pet who was also what I’d consider to be so special once in a lifetime pets die on Mother’s Day 7 yrs ago. The likelihood of them both dying on that day today and a day all about mothers love is less than 0.14% of occurring. Everything has to happen for a reason right? Both died unnaturally somehow. My Heart is so broken and ontop of it my fiancé wants to end it with me and sell my home when I’m disabled struggling during such a difficult time. My life has just totally crashed all around me I feel so deflated. The worst part is he screwed me over financially so now I can’t even move and have no where to go. I will be unburying my cat and bringing him with me where ever I go. Moving his body because I’ll never be able to see him again if this house is sold. 🥺😭😭😭😭😭 ☠️ ☠️ 💀
My cat, Juicy got neutered about a year ago. He’s an old man and he got one of my four-month-old kitty preggers. One time, he tried to sit down, and he started howling in pain because he didn't know how to sit comfortably after that, so my stepdad had to help him sit properly. A lot of his behavior is the same as before, he just has a staring problem now.
@@ryderthesinfulmy whole family was concerned about the size of his balls when he first came up to us (like, unironically). So it might have been that.
My cats first visit to the vet was him being fixed. He never forgot it. Each time we went to a vet, he clung to me with all his mite. I had to peel each claw off. The only time he was calm was his last visit 18 years later when I was putting him down. He had cancer, and he'd stopped eating that morning he couldn't stand. I called the vet and took him in. He was fine with her that time. I forgot to say he cried for three days when he was fixed.
@@selolmeawespn it stops them from getting females pregnant, and limits behaviors triggered by hormones, like peeing to mark territory. Also makes them more 'domestic'
Lovely advice. I brought a wild untouchable feral in for a TNR. When I picked her up after her appointment I assumed she would be even wilder. But to my surprise she actually has become almost tame for me and lets me touch her. I believe she sees me as the person who rescued her from the vet rather than the human who took her to the vet. Your advice is fantastic and sound. Thank you!
They can't feel it because the nerve response is nulled. The nerves can't tell the brain there is pain until it wears off. Same way pain killers work. They numb the pain, which dulls the nerve response so it doesn't transfer the fact of there being pain to the brain until the medicine wears off. If there is still pain when that happens, then the brain will know then.
@@EarthC111 he even peed on my dad's face, you think thats fine?? I don't think u understand how bad my house smelled. Plus, he mated before and all his kittens died, he's doing fine it's not like I declawed him or anything. :)
@@EarthC111if a cat pees in your face, that means they are scent marking you are trying to get a mate. Cats should instinctively seek out a litter box because they want to bury their waste to hide the scent, making it easier to sneak up on prey. The fact the cat "shit everywhere" implies it was either sick or in extreme pain. Judging by the yowling comment, I'd say in pain.
@@ryderthesinful What you just told me everyone knows about. You have to teach them, but if the person asks herself why my cat pissed on my face when they didn't teach the animal, it's just braindead take
@@yiff_productionsVasectomies are better because then they get to keep their testicles. Testicles are needed to for testosterone and other hormones that are needed.
@@ShaimaaBenaid also, in some countries/states it's better since it prevents stray cats from becoming a hazard towards native animals/plants and more. In my case where I live in mexico although not considered a hazard there's a ton of stray cats as much as stray dogs if not more and its dangerous to have them outside in some places since there's still many cases about animal cruelties or abuse, its so bad that adoption requires payment instead of being given for free in any shelter because multiple people have proven to hurt the animal in one way or another, even feeding it to other pets they own instead. I prefer for my cat's kittens to be born in a much safer place.
@@ShaimaaBenaidnow i'm not entirely sure about cats, but i know that dogs if not neutered or spayed may become aggressive with people and have a significantly higher chance of getting cancer
I know spraying can be an issue, but none of the cats that I've taken in (I foster stray cats) have had that problem after being trained not to. It's difficult, but possible. I personally think neutering/spaying any pet is cruel, but I get it if you want to.
Its far far far from cruel. Look up all the benefits. Theyre friendlier,theyre healthier and theres no unwanted kittens(as awful as that sounds,theres too many especially since they can have babies as young as four months old/ It also saves them from painful, reproduction related cancers. Its good for them. Its far from cruel. Sure no surgery or vet visit is pleasant,but its for their benefits.
@@saigetucker6054 It also causes rapid fat gain and makes them lose almost all their muscle and they won't want to play with you anymore, so you want a fat lazy unhealthy unhappy cat over a healthy happy powerful cat, Also if you somehow let you pet away from your control onto the street for exmaple where they can breed you are not responsible enough to have a pet
@@fionnhogan5328 you have a good point there. My cat was fixed when I got him,and he is very fat and lazy,but he is definitely not unhappy. Idk if it's cause he's indoor-outdoor,as he's my first cat that I've had for a couple years now. He was simply abandoned like that. There's pros and cons,and to me the pros outweigh the cons,but it's not for everyone.
Can we please not make it look like it is torture for the cat, presenting it like that might make people not want to spay/neuter their cats and that would be awful, animal activists and vets worked for decades to make people understand how important it is to prevent more unwanted stray kittens, reproductive deseases live ovary cancer and the stress of female cats getting in heat or male cats smelling a cat in heat... It is a pretty simple surgery and after wards the cat needs some rest and love and then she will be fine... My dog was a little high for a day and afterwards he was completely normal again
Pobrecita 😭😢😿😿 esperemos que sea por su salud 🙏🙏🙏 cuídalos y protegelos mi Dios porque tú los creaste para que sean nuestros compañeros de vida 😢😢❤❤ amén 🙏🙏
Cats are incapable of crying. Every time you see a video of a cat looking like its crying, its because it just had surgery and the liquid the vet put into the cats eyes to keep it moist is now coming out due to the cat waking up.
I wish we could tell animals that we’re trying to help them when we take them to the vet :,( We know you’re scared and maybe even hurting a little, we hate it just as much as you, fur/scale/feather/slimy babies, but we do it because we love you.
My cat got like 10000% cuter after I neutered him, he became so cuddly and he turned back to his calm kitten state I've always loved him, with or without his little pair of balls
That’s sick. It’s not funny at all or cute. They felt more vulnerable now and that’s why their behaviour has changed. And you are happy about the change, knowing the cruelty you have made. That is sick. That is no different than doctors chopping off kids’ genitals for transgender agenda saying it prevents kids from suicide. Sick.
NOT THE KITTEN WITH THE ARMS UP! 😭😭 I cried when I had to get my cat neutered lol that's my BABY. He ended up fine lol but that's just my baby you know? 🤣💝💝
