Do cats always gain a lot of weight once they are spayed? My cat weighed 6 lbs. now she…
Cats do not gain weight but due to the spay but due to a combination of factors. Around the time of the spay, activity also slows as kittens get older so they need fewer calories. Taking away the energy needed for reproduction can also reduce calorie need. Of course, the biggest cause of weight gain in our pets is overfeeding and lack of exercise. It is normal for your cat to have gotten bigger and to have perhaps filled out but hopefully not too much! You should still be able to see a waist on your cat when looking at her from above and feel her ribs and spine with some gentle pressure. If not then she is likely overweight. Your veterinarian can help you determine what her ideal weight is and set up a plan for her to become a healthy weight if needed. Thanks for your question.
