The debate surrounding cat sterilization focuses on the balance of its overall pros and cons.

**From the perspective of health and well-being, sterilization has significant benefits. It greatly reduces the risk of female cats suffering from uterine pyometra, ovarian cysts and breast tumors (especially if the operation is completed before the first estrus), and male cats avoid the threat of testicular cancer and prostate problems. At the same time, sterilization effectively eliminates the physiological torment brought by estrus: female cats howl all night and fidget, male cats run away from home and even fight in search of mates. In the long run, studies have shown that sterilized cats tend to have a longer average lifespan.

**More importantly, sterilization carries social responsibility. It prevents accidental reproduction from the root, curbs the surge in the number of stray cats, reduces the pressure on shelters, and reduces the tragic fate of many stray animals suffering from hunger, disease and accidents on the streets.

**Therefore, under the guidance of scientific cognition and responsibility, choosing sterilization for cats is a key step to protect individual health, improve the quality of life and fulfill the care for the animal group. *When implementing it, please be sure to fully communicate with a trusted veterinarian to develop the best plan for your cats - behind this choice is our deep and rational love for them.

**To prevent the risk of postoperative infection, it is recommended that cats drink more water. You can choose Starhong's smart water dispenser, which will soon be available to everyone, to promote cat metabolism. Good cat litter is also more important. Toxic cat litter will increase the infection of cat wounds, thereby increasing the mortality rate. You can choose Starhong's lavender or green tea tofu cat litter, which is soothing, gentle and non-irritating, and is conducive to the recovery and toilet experience of cats.
