What does sterilisation involve?

Just a few hours after the sterilisation procedure hormonal changes take place in the cat’s body, affecting some metabolic processes at the same time.

As a result energy demand drops by as much as 30%. Unfortunately, at the same time you can observe appetite boost in your cat. Therefore, the risk of developing excess weight or obesity in sterilised cats grows 3 or even 4 times. Reducing the calorific value of the food while maintaining an adequate level of protein helps to maintain optimal body weight without the loss of muscle mass.

A cat is a desert animal, so it’s not surprising that it drinks small amounts of water. Unfortunately, this can have a negative impact on your cat’s health. A small amount of fluids causes greater urine concentration and the urine stays in the bladder for a longer period of time. This creates an environment in which crystals can be formed. The risk of their formation is increased by excess weight and obesity. Keeping your cat in good shape and encouraging it to consume more water improve the health of its lower urinary tract.
