Tips on why you should spay or neuter your cat.
Be sure to have your pet cat made sterile or sterilized by the time it is six months old. A spayed or neutered feline is a more sufficient pet since it is calmer, quieter and more likely to remain house.
Have your cat made sterile or neutered. Pet overpopulation is a growing trouble, with countless homeless cats and kittycats euthanized every year. The problem of too many kittycats and not enough houses, unfixed felines can have a wide variety of behavior problems. Males who are not sterilized at a young age commonly begin spraying to mark their territory, and ladies who are permitted to come into heat yowl incessantly as they attempt to run away to find a mate. Kittens can begin to reproduce as early as 4 months of age, so get your new kitty spayed or sterilized as quickly as possible.
Male cats are usually neutered between 5 and 8 months of age, before habits such as spraying urine are started. Physically, male cats neutered prior to puberty do not develop the large head and thick skin of intact males.
