Cat Outdoor
After purchasing a new kitten or young cat, you will be faced with the time-old question: should you spay or neuter your pet? There are a number of advantages to having a pet that is fixed. If you keep your cat outdoor, you will find that spaying or neutering really is the best option. While it may be fun to have a litter of kittens scampering around your cat runs or cat run, the financial burden can be overwhelming. All of these kittens will require routine shots, specialized supplements to help them grow and a healthy diet. Space is another issue. Before long, you may find yourself needing additional cat outdoor pens and cat runs. Numerous cat scratch posts, toys, feeding dishes and other accessories will also be required.
Unfortunately finding homes for each kitty in your cat outdoor pens may not be so easy. With shelters overflowing, it seems that many people cannot even give their cats away. So unless you are able to financially and physically care for a number of cats in your cat run or cat outdoor pen, don’t take on the burden of breeding your female.
Maintaining the Appearance of Your Cat Outdoor Pen
By neutering your male cats, you will find that it is easier to keep both your cat outdoor pen and cat scratch post much cleaner. Intact males often feel the urge to constantly mark their territory. This can result in excessive soiling on the cat scratch post or in the cat runs. Spaying and neutering usually makes your cats calmer and better companions. Unfixed cats may sit in their cat outdoor pen or cat runs howling for a mate during breeding season. Males may feel the urge to escape from their cat run or cat runs to roam the streets in search of a female. Fixed cats are much more content to spend their time napping in their cat run, sleeping on their cat perch and playing on their cat scratch posts.
Spaying and neutering also eliminates a number of health concerns such as ovarian cancer and disease of the reproduction tract. In many cases, a fixed cat is much healthier than those who are left intact. However, one of the downsides to spaying and neutering is that it can cause your pet to gain extra weight. Instead of pacing back and forth by the door of his cat outdoor pen or cat run, the fixed cat will be curled up on his cat perch, sleeping peacefully. As you can see, altered cats do not expend as much energy as their intact counterparts. With proper care, obesity is easy to prevent. The best method is to feed your cat a healthy diet and be sure they get plenty of exercise. This may require a bit of effort on your part, but it will be well-worth it. Schedule a time each day to play with your pet in his cat runs or cat outdoor pen.
Your cat will enjoy chasing a ball, or tackling a feather that you drag along the ground. You should also encourage your pet cat to use his cat scratch post or cat scratch posts, which is a great form of exercise.
