Did neutering make my cat depressed?

I had my male cat neutered about a month ago. He is approximatele 2years old. He was just the same temperment when he came back for about 3weeks. Now he is not meowing like before and seems “depressed”. He is eating but is not interested in going out. Is this a hormonal change or is something else going on?

Answer #1

He’s not depressed…he may feel a little lost, tho…Finds himself meowing to go out, then realizes he can’t remember why going out used to be so important…

It does take a little while for all the testosterone to be absorbed by the body…I think he’s just going thru the changes from Tom Cattin’ around, to being a homebody.

Answer #2

I just had 3 of my male cats neutered, 2 of them 1 year old and 1 2 year old. the 2 one year olds seem to be fine happy, affectionate, and not as mean as they use to be but my 2 year old, weezer, all he does is lay around and seems to be moping. it has only been a week but I think he is depressed a bit. so I think every cat is different. I mean come on they lost their, well you know that can’t make them too happy, right?

Answer #3

yeah, I had my dog spayed and well, I don’t know it didnt do nothing to em. all da dog did was lay around till it got better and then went back to normal…but yeah, I would take the advice above.
