Will spaying or neutering make my cat less vocal?

If you have a male cat that’s doing that because there are other cats in heat in the neighborhood, and he's being vocal, that may help stop that. Cats that are spayed and neutered should have normal loving behavior, the same behavior that you had before you spayed and neutered them. If they talked a lot and were very vocal and friendly, then they'll still be just like that.

That is a good question, and I'm going to be honest with you. I'm going to say no on this one. Yeah, I'm going to say no. It'll make them less vocal at two in the morning right outside of your bedroom window, maybe. I won't go any further. Think about it, you can fill in the blanks. But yeah, just... Some cats are vocal, man. Some cats when they're hungry, meow, meow, meow. When they want your attention, meow, meow, meow. Yeah. So no, I think the answer to that question, to put it concisely is no.

It can. That is especially true for females. When the hormones kick in, they tend to tell you, and removing the hormones and the ovaries can help prevent that or at least minimize how vocal they are. Females come in and out of heat during the warmer months. So it can be several weeks, and they go out for a couple of days and come right back in. Unlike dogs, where they go into heat and come out for several months before going back in, cats can be in heat the whole summer long.

If we're dealing with a cat who is in heat and gets spayed, the hormones will linger for a little while. I wouldn't expect the vocalizing to go away immediately, but it will decrease over a few weeks. We shouldn't see any more of the vocalization that's very well-known for feline cats in heat after those hormones subside. We don't see a lot of that vocalization in male cats unless that's just them. Some cats are more talkative than others, especially our Siamese friends. They're known for being talkative, and they like to chat. I have two Siamese cats of my own at home. They have lots of things to say on a daily basis. From morning to night, my cats will have a running conversation about what they have going on in their lives and how they feel about it.

It definitely can help make them less vocal. The reason your cat is vocal is because they are in heat or wanting to seek out a mate, and vocalizing helps them find that mate. By removing those organs and those hormones, she will no longer be coming into heat and vocalizing as much.
