Also on both males and females expect a slight drop in activity. If you have a male cat that typically stays outside be warned that his drop in aggresion may result in him being bullied by other no neutered males.

This was on Thursday,and they act just the same as they did before,as have all of the cats I have ever had. It certainly makes males much more mellow,though.Congrats on getting her fixed!

All those hormones that were once controlling her every thought (going something like I must mate) will be slowly getting out of her system and she will be more focused on you and food. It also reduces the risk of cancer in her later years. Generally speaking (and there are exceptions to every rule) your female will calm down.

Males are less likely spray (they can) and are generally less aggressive towards other cats, less territorial. That's my experience. Personally - I think cats should be licensed, like dogs, with a $100 sin tax for not having your cat neutered or spayed. That way, only the serious breeders working with high end breeds will neglect to do so - there are just too many cats having kittens, it is a very serious problem. The proceeds from the sin tax could then subsidize spaying/neutering for low income families. Thank you for having your cat spayed. Not going into heat is the big change for females.
