I just had to respond to Nick, but you got there first China Blue. Nick, I agree with almost everything you say in your post but how can you say that there is no reason for an indoor cat to be spayed???? I can show you numerous articles, backed up by very experienced feline experts, who will tell you that a cat that calls continuously without being mated is liable to all sorts of illnesses - as China Blue says, pyometra being just one. Thankfully I have never put this to the test myself as I have had my girls spayed if and when it has been necessary, and never, ever had a problem with anaesthetic or recovery. I also do not know of anyone who has! If not spayed this poor little girl is destined to a life of frustration at best and I don't want to contemplate the worst.
