Hello everybody,
My Scottish cat Adam is 13 months now.
He is indoor only.
Haven't neutered him yet cause I never liked the idea and kind of pushed it back.
In terms of behavior, he never sprayed. He only humps the blanket lol
He is a very happy and active cat.
He only meow quite a lot and lately at night as well.
I'm kind of torn. I know most says it's for their health but It's hard to bring into surgery a cat that seems so fine and happy.
Another note, I'm european, In Italy a neutering procedure is a super easy experience, it costs 80 euro only, you get the cat back after few hours and he is perfectly fine. On my italian cats I don't remember I have ever noticed the scar/wound post surgery and cats were totally fine.
I live in Miami and the vet instead made it quite a big deal. Big surgery, $350 dollars, he will have to wear a cone collar for a week, medications post surgery OMG !
I'm even starting to think that the procedures are different between Europe and the USA.
Anyway, I'm leaning towards doing it in 1-2 weeks.
Any honest opinion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks !
