I was just wondering if there was anyone who had a cat that became more affectionate after having kittens or if all cats that have had a litter become more distant. Im pretty sure that having kittens and nursing them etc changes a female cat both physically and mentally.
However in cases of especially young kittens you may not notice any differences at all.
Do kittens change personality. I believe their personalities change much less often a scared timid kitten or a bold talkative energetic one usually stays the same through adulthood. Kittens are so full of high strung energy they are in a state of constant activity followed by occasional naps to power up. Im pretty sure that having kittens and nursing them etc changes a female cat both physically and mentally.
Exactly how it changes the cat is not quite clear to me. To me a female cat that has had kittens seems more adult than another one who was spayed before ever having kittens. I have never given much thought to it really.
I had heard that after cats have kittens there personalities change. I was just wondering if there was anyone who had a cat that became more affectionate after having kittens or if all cats that have had a litter become more distant. 1 SloanMahria Mar 7 2012.

I have one that was very feisty and playful but sweet as a kitten who is basically exactly the same as an adult and then I have another who was super hyper and wild who grew up to be a lazy lap cat who moves around so little I jokingly call her a rug.
Negligence might put you and your beloved pet in serious trouble. There are many reasons for the cats change in personality among which aging and stress are at the top. Again there are myriad reasons that would distress a cat.
Getting older will also pave the way for many physical and psychological ailments. If youre worried that neutering your wee kitten will change his entire temperament for the worse dont be. Getting your youngster fixed should only give him a more laid-back relaxed and calm disposition thankfully.
However in cases of especially young kittens you may not notice any differences at all. Based on your description I think your cats behavior is changing normally in response to decreased testosterone in his system. However if you are worried about his condition Id recommend.
Just like humans cats change as they get older. While kittens are often manic little balls of energy rage and destruction older cats are calmer and more content to lay in window sills and soak up the sun. Will my kittens personality change after spaying.
No it does not change the personality of the cat. The purpose of spaying a cat is to eliminate unpleasant behaviors related to. If your cats mood has changed so much their personality is different we need to work out why.
This can be seen if they suddenly become aggressive depressed sluggish anxious or even engage in behaviors such as marking or scratching. However it is also possible a cats personality will change in seemingly positive ways. For example they may become more.
Although they love to play with their kitten buddies high-energy kittens can also bond well with people. Offer lots of cat toys and cat trees to keep these rascals occupied and play with them often so theyll want to interact and bond with you. About 5 years ago I adopted an extremely high voltage set of 8-week-old kittens Boo-Boo and Pinky.
Yes spaying and neutering your cats will change their personality. So yes when you have your cat spayed or neutered they calm down become more relaxed better pets and their activity level will go down. There is no need for them to.
Try to remember that just because your cats personality has changed and she became friendlier it doesnt mean that your cat is pregnant. Pregnant cats do not show signs of heat although some owners do struggle to distinguish between cat pregnancy symptoms and a cat in heat. You need to set the rules for your kittens behavior and every person your cat comes in contact with should reinforce these rules.
Your kitten cant be expected to learn that its okay to play rough with Dad but not with the baby. Use aversives to discourage your kitten from nipping. You can either use a squirt bottle filled with water.
Overall your cats personality should not change Brömme says. Your cat may seem more reserved after getting the surgery but thats because her hormones arent fluctuating like they used to when she had heat cycles. The personality change many only child cats undergo from being overly cuddly to being a bit anti-social to their pet owners and not any other behavioural change.
Again all behavioural and personality and behavioural changes are serious and should be paid close attention to in case a cat is ill or unhappy and needs the stress to. Remember both male and female cats do not exhibit cat personality changes after neutering a cat. The personality of the cat will remain the same but its behavior will change.
Please do not neuter your cat in the hopes that its personality will change. The shift in their behavior after neutering a cat will leave you with a less aggressive. After spaying cat behavior will generally remain the same.
Your cat might act differently for a few days while recovering from the operation but her personality will remain unchanged. Spaying your cat has many advantages both for her health and in.
