Castration, with today's level of veterinary medicine,
has a very low risk for healthy young animals (death after surgery occurs in less than 1 in 500 cats) and protects against possible offspring, animal aggression, and unwanted odors in the apartment.
However, after castration, the animal has a risk of developing health problems, such as obesity, urolithiasis, and difficulties in the functioning of the cardiovascular system. That is why a neutered cat needs to choose a balanced diet. Let's figure out whether it is possible to feed him regular food.
In the article, we looked at dry and wet food, made a rating of the economy, premium, super premium, and holistic classes, and found out whether it is necessary to feed the cat with special food.

What can you feed a neutered cat?
It is not at all necessary to feed your cat with store-bought food after castration, however, if you decide to give your pet natural food, then it is important to balance it with the necessary vitamins and minerals.
- Porridge. Rice, corn, wheat and oatmeal are suitable. If the cat turns his nose, you can add a little lean meat during cooking.
- Lean meat. You can give dietary meat like chicken, rabbit or turkey. Unlike porridge, the cat will definitely eat it with pleasure.
- Wet food or canned food. Preferably specialized ones marked “for neutered cats.”
- Specially grown grass. In pet stores you can often see small containers with sprouted seeds of oats, barley or wheat. Even on the street, stray cats often chew grass. It helps digest food and is very beneficial for the cat. You can grow it yourself by buying seeds at the market.
- Water. As with all living organisms, water is the key to health for a cat. Sufficient consumption of it will relieve dehydration and related problems. It is especially important to monitor how much your cat drinks if you feed him dry food. You can also give your pet meat broth.
