My cat acts like a toddler. Will spaying calm her and reduce odor?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 months and 7 days old | 3 lbs

Everytime she goes to the bathroom it stinks, shes a stinky cat. Noticed her blinking more than usual. Like back to back. Will she mellow down after spay? Shes insanely hyper like never seen a cat so into everything. Like having two twin toddlers

Oh yes, once spayed certain aspects will mellow. However her poo will always smell ! You just need to be lucky and prompt in cleaning the litter tray.. there are some closed trays that might help keeping the smell confined. If you think about getting one of these, don’t wait until she gets older otherways she might not like to change her habit !
