Why do cats gain weight after being neutered?

The reasons why cats gain weight after sterilization: 1. The hormone levels in the body are significantly reduced, and the endocrine system will be disordered and adjusted. Hypothyroidism is hypothyroidism, and the metabolism level is reduced. 2. The cat’s personality becomes stable, it does not like activities, and its activity level decreases. 3. The cat will not experience the pain of estrus, will be in a better mood, and will eat more.

Methods to prevent cats from gaining weight after sterilization:

1. Pay attention to the state of cats after sterilization, pay attention to their diet, and control nutrient absorption problems. Feed regularly and quantitatively, and do not overfeed.

2. Take the cat for appropriate exercise to keep the cat in good condition to prevent it from getting fat. You can buy cat toys to play with your cat and increase the cat’s amount of exercise.

3. Choose the right cat food. Many well-known cat food brands have also launched sterilized cat food to provide the most balanced nutrition for the living conditions of neutered cats.
