Think it goes back to when I first had MC's & the neutering by age was 8 to 9 months on the contracts & at work & with a breeder we had very in depth discussions on the why's & why nots & the simple explanation that a breeder gave was that they were fast growing cats but very slow to mature & way back then some felt that it was to the cats benefit to give them a little bit longer to mature up,something that has gone completely by the board now with a lot being done at a lot earlier age but as you know from other threads on here Candes about the same subject I feel guilty at having one of my boys done at 6mths because he would ride anything although he didn't spray or smell & he is the only one who has ended up with a kitten head on a mature body so watch this space with a certain little girl unless there are any signs of problems May/June she will be coming to work with me,but....!
