Question
Hello my cat Frankie has recently been castrated,He was a loving cat before very affectionate,But since he has had the operation he is very aggressive he seems very hateful is there something I can do?

Answer
Emma,

Give him some time. It takes about 30 days for the testosterone to get out of their system. Plus he may have some pain which will cause aggression. And he is probably 'mad' at you right now because he may think you are the reason for his pain and traumatic vet visit (which you are *smile*).

Be patient. He will settle down and go back to being his loving self. Kitty treats are a great bribe! Give him some canned tuna or tinned sardines in oil so that he associates you with something pleasant and not negative.
