Why is my cat more energetic after neutering? Is this normal?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Male | neutered | 8 lbs

I got Luna neutered just yesterday and it seems to have helped with the peeing so far (yay) but now he’s a bit of a wild child tearing through the house like a speed demon. Not being a bad cat at all just way more energetic.

Sounds like Luna is a handful! He is still young , I suppose, so he has lots of energy and needs to get rid of it. Try to throw him paper balls and play a lot with him to use u some of that energy. He will love you for it. He is obviously recuperating well. Yay no more stinky urine!
