If you have an indoor kitty
Please neuter! Don't contemplate
Or else he may want to leave and roam
If you don't allow that, it will irritate
This annoyance is called re-directed aggression
which can definitely escalate
To scratches, bites, bruises and swipes
Quite a havoc it would create
Here are some things you should know
After the snip snip, he may put on weight
The diet needs to change
You have to put fewer calories on his plate
Before surgery, he will spray urine as a message
*sigh* If only we could translate
But now he won't need to tell the ladies anything
Since he's not ready to mate
The roaming & escapes will reduce
because now he won't need to find a date.
The surgery is quite simple & very common
Ask many questions! Your vet is up to date
It reduces the risk of testicular cancer & disease
The health benefits are great
After the neutering, your kitty should rest
For recovery, you can use your crate
Don't allow them to chew, scratch or itch it
Use a cone/e-collar but there may be some hate
If you have more than 1 cat
post-surgery, make sure you separate
After surgery, the cat smells different
So for 48-72 hours, you must wait!
If your kitty is an indoor & outdoor lad
The need for neutering will inflate
Or else you will have a 10,000 kittens
So, you better do it before it gets too late
P.s. This applies to females too but the poem used a male as a reference for creative reasons.
Females can get pregnant as young as 4 months of age
