    In my experience, boy cats don't start spraying until they go into heat - not sure at what age that starts, but it's always best to get them fixed as soon as possible. If the vet says 6 months, then go for it. I've never had any kittens that sprayed before they reached about a year old.

    calling up my old post to say that I adopted a sweet little boy kitty, 12/23/10. since he came from Petsmart, he was already neutered when he got there. his paperwork said he was 4 months. I guessed 9 wks :( He was saved from a high kill shelter. He was very skinny with long legs.

    Earlier when I posted this, I said that when I was thinking about adopting some kittens, my vet said they only will neuter at 6 months (the earliest.) Well, I took my new guy to the same vet's practice (they have like 5) and she said he had "entirely too much work done to him for such a young age." I can't help that!

    He's such a sweet baby! A little tiger.

    I got my 2 cats at PetSmart as well (Cat Angel Network :D ). Enjoy your new furball. Take some pics and post them on the kitty thread.
