Thread: Opinions on early neutering

I personally would not neuter at such a young age, but lots of people do. I think it is often more to do with protecting the bloodlines and making sure there are no "accidental kittens" which may then be passed off as legitimate pedigree cats than restricting the roaming tendency. My adult pets were all neutered at around the same age, some like to get out and about (if they can escape!), others are quite happy at home. We are currently attempting to contain any escapees in the garden so they will be happy to have some safe outside time without roaming the neighbourhood. I generally recommend 6-9 months for my kittens to be neutered.

How strange - It seems Mick was typing his post as I was and got his reply up first - it just goes to show the differences in breeder outlook, not right or wrong, just different.
