If the pet owner does not want the Ragdoll cat at home to get pregnant and give birth to babies, he can choose to take the Ragdoll cat for sterilization. Generally, the best time for neutering a Ragdoll cat is before the Ragdoll cat reaches sexual maturity, which is about three months after the cat reaches sexual maturity. After 1 month or before 7 months, male cats should be neutered earlier than female cats.
1. Maintain the bloodline. The bloodline of Ragdoll cats has always been managed artificially. The next generation is first bred with fertile Ragdoll cats, and then the bred Ragdoll cats are sterilized to avoid poor bloodline of Ragdoll cats. Although it is a bit cruel, But we have to admit that artificially bred Ragdoll cats have a more beautiful appearance and kinder personality.
2. Prevent diseases. Ragdoll cats themselves are very prone to diseases. The main disease area is in the genitals. Because the estrus period is relatively long, if it is a female cat, it is prone to mammary gland tumors. If it is a male cat, it is easy to develop breast tumors. , problems such as urinary tract infection may occur, so after sterilization, this situation can be avoided.
3. Avoid going into heat. The estrus period of Ragdoll cats is a big problem. Ragdoll cats themselves have a relatively long estrus period. Therefore, we may encounter various estrus reactions, such as: crying in the middle of the night, bleeding in the lower body, and often running outside. Moreover, their personalities are not as well-behaved as before, especially those ragdoll cats that ran outside. Most of them have become stray cats.
4. Extend lifespan. Ragdoll cats are different from many cat species, because Ragdoll cats have many diseases throughout their lives, and the key parts are in the lower body. Therefore, after we sterilize Ragdoll cats, Not only can it reduce the pain, but it can also be of great help in extending the life span of Ragdoll cats. You must know that the survival time of Ragdoll cats without sterilization is only 5-7 years, which is very short.
5. Control the number. Ragdoll cats reproduce very quickly, which is why Ragdoll cats need to be sterilized. Generally speaking, female Ragdoll cats can breed 42 babies in seven years. Wan XiaobuIf the number of domestic cats increases at this rate, it will have a serious impact on the entire ecosystem. Moreover, if the breeding speed is too fast, it will inevitably increase our economic investment, which is very unfavorable.
