The most direct way to alleviate a male cat's estrus is to take the male cat to a pet hospital for sterilization after the estrus is over. This can completely solve the problem of the male cat's estrus and reduce the occurrence of reproductive system diseases. Secondly, if the male cat has reached adulthood and its body is fully developed, the owner can also take the male cat for breeding to relieve the symptoms of estrus. In addition, if the owner neither wants to sterilize the male cat nor breed the male cat, then he can only find a way to divert the cat’s attention and relieve the pain of the cat in heat.
1. Undergo sterilization surgery
Male cats will start to go into estrus around 6 months old. During the estrus period, they may urinate randomly, howl, etc. to attract cats of the opposite sex. If the owner wants to fundamentally solve the problem of cats in estrus, they can take the male cat to a pet hospital for sterilization surgery after the estrus is over. This can not only reduce the pain of the male cat during estrus, but also reduce the occurrence of reproductive system diseases.
In addition, before the male cat undergoes sterilization surgery, it is necessary to check whether there are any abnormalities in the male cat's mental state, appetite, urine and feces, body temperature, etc., to ensure that the male cat is in a healthy state before the surgery can be performed.
2. Breeding
If the male cat has reached adulthood, the owner can choose to breed the male cat. After breeding, the cat will calm down. However, male cats cannot be bred if they are underage. This is mainly because the sperm activity of male cats when bred to minors is poor, which can easily lead to difficulty in conception of female cats or abnormal fetal development.
In addition, when breeding male cats, you also need to choose female cats of the same breed and good health. Moreover, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and male cats will continue to be in estrus every spring and autumn.
3. Diversion of attention
Male cats will have a bad temper when they are in heat. If the owner neither wants to breed the cat nor neuter it, then the only option is to comfort the cats in multiple pairs. , make it feel relaxed, and find ways to divert the cat’s attention. For example, you can temporarily change the feeding environment to allow the cat’s attention to adapt to the new environment, or prepare more toys and snacks for the cat, and wait until it is tired of playing. Will rest well.
However, this method only has a temporary effect, and male cats are animals that induce estrus. If they are not sterilized and there is no chance of breeding, the male cat’s estrus will become more serious each time, and the interval between estrus will also be longer. will be shortened.
Note: During the estrus period, male cats may jump out of the window or run away from home in order to court a mate. Therefore, during the estrus period, owners need to pay special attention to the male cat’s movements. It is recommended that the doors and windows be closed at all times. This is to prevent the male cat from running away from home or from accidents such as jumping off a building.
