Thread: Does the age of neutering/spaying affect size of Maine Coons?

Interesting to see the report was done on short haired domestic kittens ,what about cats such as ours that are bigger & slower maturing. I am lucky that my breeder does not agree in early neutering {nor does either of the vets I work for} & my last two from her were not done until they were 14 mths old & the fact that their pee was still not even tinged with any tom smell {unlike a domestic of that age} still makes me query the need to do our breed so young, the obvious thing is that yes it does stop the rouge "pet buyer" who would abuse the terms & conditions. As for personality they haven't altered from the day I had them,still naughty,loving,cuddly" little",meant in my babes not weight, beings...
Just as a matter of interest although not done right young I had an earlier boy,from same breeder,castrated at six months,from the day we had him he humped everything from the then three other cats to us so off they came,he has matured up into a very big bodied boy but his head has stayed very small in comparison yet his litter mates & siblings from the same mating who were done at 9mths have magnificent big heads that match the body size,not to say he would have been any different but I am left to wonder....
