Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask

Yes, yes, the conversation will be about sex. Sooner or later, a pretty fluffy kitten or puppy turns into a sexually mature male or female. And then the problems begin! Tormented by desire, animals are able to turn the life of their owners into hell. Bitches lure crowds of sometimes very aggressive and decisive gentlemen. Males stop obeying and strive to escape. Cats howl and roll on the floor. Cats do not spray furniture and clothes with Chanel.

"If I had been castrated in time, I would be so rich now!" (The cry of the soul of one of my acquaintances).

Not only do these maniacs pee, wherever they hit, mark everything that is under … (I almost said: hand) will turn up (I came to the conference with a buffet table at the Pribaltiyskaya Hotel, obviously not fragrant with perfume), they also strive go in search of adventure! Spring is the time for parachutists. These are broken paws, cracked skies, knocked out teeth, and then bites, being hit by cars and other delights. Plus, you can catch fleas, lice, pick up a virus. At the dacha, they hang around everywhere, fight and also often fall under the wheels, then in the teeth of the dogs.

The males are no better. They stop obeying, strive to run after any lady (sometimes so ugly, and even accompanied by a crowd of variegated fans), howl at night, or even begin to snap at the owners. And how many expensive pedigree males were stolen using the "services" of a bitch in heat!

Cats and bitches are a little less troublesome, if only because the period of sexual arousal does not last for them all the time, but at certain periods. Bitches have 2 (options: 1 or 3) times a year for 2-3 weeks. In cats - more often, but shorter: 3 (up to 4-5) times a year (mainly in the spring-summer period) for 7-10 days (rarely - 2 weeks or more). In some cats, due to life under artificial lighting, the sexual season lasts constantly (estrus is repeated every 3-6 weeks)! And although estrus does not last constantly, nevertheless, females also give heat at this time: they become agitated, sometimes aggressive and naughty, cats mark their apartment, bitches try to escape for a walk. In short, an unsatisfied female, regardless of species, is a terrible thing!

What are the ways out of this situation?

The first way out is castration. Castration refers to the removal of the sex glands (testes or ovaries). Sometimes the castration of cats is sanctimoniously called sterilization, well, what to do, people are shy …

There used to be two entrances at the veterinary station of the Moscow region. In the center, the reception was led by a female therapist, and from the end - by a male surgeon. Often inattentive owners confused the doors and entered the therapeutic department with surgical problems (for example, castration). And if you consider that many are ashamed of the word "castration", then quite often one could hear funny dialogues.

- I would have a kitty … um … to deprive her of virginity.

- It's not for me, it's around the corner, to Roman Borisovich.

So sterilization is a general depletion: from tubal ligation (when the cat continues to yell and tag, but cannot become pregnant), to the strongest radiation exposure (when there is a sick animal, as a result of which it is sterile). Castration is one of the types of sterilization. Castration does not affect the character of the animal in any way. A fighter remains a fighter, a coward remains a coward, a rat-catcher continues to catch rats, an evil animal will not become tame (the cause of anger is in character or upbringing), and an affectionate one will not become embittered. Of course, castrates are prone to obesity, and cats are also prone to urolithiasis (primarily as a result of obesity). But it depends only on you how much the pet will eat, and in what form it will be. All my cats were neutered, but lean and active. None of them suffered from urolithiasis, except for the first - Marquis,who lived with me during my school years. Then I did not know that pollock with "Hercules" is the first cat poison. It is not yet customary for us to castrate males, but if you are not a purebred champion, but an ordinary Sharik, castrate him without waiting for either behavioral problems or problems with the prostate in old age (they will still recommend castrating!). Castration procedures are simple, quick, worked out to the smallest detail and not very expensive (count, for example, the cost of pills for the life of an animal).

A hysterical female voice is heard in the telephone receiver:

- Doctor, tell me, does "Contrasex" act for a time or forever ?!

- Of course, for a while, it must be given in a course, as indicated on the package. However, addiction can develop over time, and there are side effects. So it's better to castrate …

“You don’t understand, doctor! My husband accidentally ate a whole package instead of analgin!

The second option is to use pills, drops or injections ("Do you have any pills for the spring on sale?"). Unfortunately, no matter how beautifully the manufacturers describe the wonderful properties of their drugs, there are no hormones without side effects. Pills and drops can quickly become addictive. There are frequent cases of development of problems with the liver, prostate in males or with the ovaries in females. Personally, I had a chance to remove the uterus from a nine-month-old (!!!) cat, who, after the first course of taking pills, first developed purulent metritis, and then polycystic ovary and uterine mucosa. The fact is that all these drugs are designed, in fact, for a one-time emergency giving sometimes. For example, your cat is a thoroughbred breeder, but it was during this estrus that you decided to take a break, allowing both yourself and the cat to rest. Decide for yourself - your animal can produce worthy offspring, for which there are willing, or not. If not, castrate, if yes, then the third way.

Finally, you can get offspring from our pets! However, there are a number of limitations here. First, of course, you need to be sure that there are people willing to take them for all newborns.

Secondly, you need to be convinced of the health of both the groom and the bride.

Thirdly, animals can only be knitted after the onset of physiological, and not puberty. Puberty occurs in dogs at 6-12 months, in cats at 5-7 months. You can only knit dogs at 1.5-2 years old, cats at 10-15 months. Early mating slows down the development of the male or female organism, leads to the production of non-viable or weak offspring. For females, it is also important that they be tied for the first time up to 3-4 years, then ossification of the sacro-pelvic ligaments occurs in nulliparous individuals, which significantly complicates childbirth.

Fourthly, the pair should be selected especially carefully: healthy, of the same breed (inconsistency of the shape of the head of the fetus and the mother's pelvis during interbreeding can lead to problems in childbirth), the male is not much larger than the female (from a large male, large children can be obtained, which complicates childbirth).

Fifth, do not get carried away with frequent mating. Sexual excesses do not lead anyone to good!

Sixth, consult with your veterinarian about the course of pregnancy and childbirth so that you are fully prepared for the unexpected.

Most importantly, don't be shy about sexy topics. A doctor is a doctor to answer all your questions. And then you come to the cat, and he turns out to be a cat ("And we looked in the face - a spitting image of a boy!"). Or they bring a male dog with one testicle to the clinic ("We didn't know it was abnormal …" "Yes? And if your husband had one, they would have worried long ago!"). Or they ask to castrate a cat with implantation of silicone prostheses ("As in Germany - so that neuroses and psychosis do not develop on the basis of a sense of their own inferiority!").
