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

I think it all comes down to the cats enviroment if he starts spraying at a young age. I no a very good breeder who has two boys that are not used for studs & are both over 12 months old & neither have started spraying yet but she is expecting it soon. Our old MC was neuterd when he was just over a year old. Some breeders hold onto the cats registration untill they are neuterd/spayed to try & ensure they are not breed from.

My personal reason for waiting untill Louie is older is that Scutter had the snip very young & has had urinay problems for the last 8 years now,(he is a moggy & 12 now) he forms stones unless he has his pill everyday & prescription food

I dont know about MC's but in the Dalmatian world it is best not to get a dog neuterd before it is 15 months old as they to can suffer the same problem, then again even if they arnt neuterd they can still become stone formers either way I'm prepared to wait untill Louie is older, he is a house cat so cant go off looking for a girlfriend but as soon as he gets to big for his boots he will be off to the vets
