Already affectionate cat EVEN MORE affectionate after spaying

[mrfairy]

I'm not complaining at all! Has anyone experienced the same? Before her spay, Pixie was already a very sweet girl who never bit or scratched anyone, pliable to a fault and who would come up to guests for pats. She comes when I call her too and always accompanies me while I work or read. Now, she's even more affectionate, spending more time with me and approaching guests more often.

That's great to hear. So often people worry that their cat will be less friendly after being spayed, so it's great to hear in your case that totally wasn't true.

When I had my boy done he was the exact same as before he was done. No change in his behaviour but I have read that some cat's become more affectionate it's awsome that your girl is more affectionate.

Neko-chan became more affectionate after being spayed too. She always enjoyed being petted, but after her spay became a lap cat.

I've experienced the same thing, but mainly only with my male kitties.

It makes since because they calm down after being fixed

Our shelter takes in a lot of feral kittens, and many of them become friendlier after they've been "fixed". It's much more noticeable with the males. It's often like a switch is flipped 2-3 weeks after neutering.Ones that just tolerated petting are suddenly asking to be cuddled.
