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

Simba was already neutered when we collected him - I was at the time quite surprised at this but to be honest I'm glad now. I was told they recover very quickly when they are smaller. I'm not sure he would have been bigger had he not been neutered so early but I doubt it would be much difference - he seems to be growing fast at the moment! His breeder also told me that he would be less likely to wonder if he was neutered early and as he comes outside with us this was important. He spent all afternoon in the garden with us today as we were gardening and he was never far away - just sat and watched us and when we went in he trotted in after us. He never ceases to amaze me - they really are quite different to any other cat so whether he is big or bigger I'm not bothered - he is just great
