About a month ago we got the cat neutered. I always wait until my pets show signs that it’s time; in heat, spraying etc. He wasn’t showing any signs, but I was afraid we wouldn’t have the money when it was time, and the vet said he was old enough.
Here’s the problem…
Sweet, affectionate, floppy when you hold him kitty, becomes evil spawn of Satan! Almost imediately after recovering from procedure. He NEVER scratched the furniture or us before, even when tiny kitten, he just wanted to be held. Now that he’s almost grown and can do some damage, he’s shredded the curtains and the screen door trying to climb them.
When he was little, he would pat your face while you held him, now it’s wise not to let him have access to your face.
Thankfully, he’s still indifferent towards my son. He absolutely loves the dog, but dog has seen the change in him and keeps out of his way.
When he wants something, we still get our ankles rubbed, but a toe will be bitten or leg scratched afterwards. He chews on everything, And he runs around the house bouncing off walls, and knocking stuff over.
I thought getting male cats neutered was supposed to make them calm.
