YOUR CATS’ PERSONALITY

 It is a necessity that your cat be spayed or neutered!

Your cat will be healthier and happier and will live a much longer life if he or she is spayed or neutered.

 Some people think their cats’ personality will change if it is fixed.  Not true!

If there are no hormones or testosterone for your cat to deal with, it will be much happier and calmer. Having it spayed or neutered will help keep it feeling like a carefree kitten.

However, some cat’s personalities do change as they age just as humans change as they grow up.  This change is not due to its having been spayed or neutered.

 There are many factors that can change a cat.

 A kitten may be playful and affectionate when young but may become more independent or distant when they become adult cats.  It’s just a cat thing.

 Changes in your life style can cause your cat to feel neglected if you are too busy to take time to pet or snuggle with him or her.

 Adding new pets to the household can change your cats’ personality.  Cats have a social order and when they feel that they have lost their position they sometimes react by behaving in a different manner.

 Small children sometimes poke at them and cause them to become more jumpy or even aggressive.

 A cat may also have health issues that it may be dealing with that you may be unaware of.  Cats cannot whine like dogs so they cannot tell you when they feel bad.

If you notice mood changes in your cat you need to mention that to your veterinarian when you take them for their vaccinations updates.

 If your cats’ personality has changed, it is not because it has been fixed!
