Hi Mazzyruss - like others, I think it does depend on the breed. Siamese and orientals do tend to be rather precocious.

IMHO, however, as Anele correctly says, if you get the male neutered as soon as you can arrange it, that would help avoid potential problems.

There are vets who will do this even if your nearest one disagrees. The male operation is a more straightforward one for a vet to perform and is not so risky because it is quicker to complete. The female can be spayed at the right time, whenever you consider it right/the vet advises.

Please let us know how you get on ... good wishes

Hello, I just though that I'd let you all know that I had both cats neutered a couple of months ago. I waited until they were 6 months old because the male calmed down and I had no further problems. Both cats are now doing very well, I think I just panicked!!

Thanks for all your replies.

Hi, I have 9 cats all together right now, 3 of which are only a month old. Out of all 9 there are only 3 girls. one of which is a baby. Not once has any of my unneutered males sprayed, and we foster alot because my hubby works with the animal shelter. so really it just depends on YOU specific cat. Dont stress to hard about spraying because ive never had a sprayer. but You should get your cats fixed, i learned the hard way with my kittens, and now i have a blood brother mounting his sister by blood so shes gettng fixed this month.

I have a pair of 13 week old kittens. When they were younger, Bettie was much more dominant during play-fighting, but the balance seems to have tipped and now Johnny attacks her. Although it's still only play, she appears genuinely distressed when he does this. He pays no attention to her cries, which probably mean that she wants him to stop.

I took them for their boosters last week and asked how early I could get him neutered because I know that it's less intrusive than spaying, but the vet insisted that I had to wait until he was at least five-and-a-half months old. Johnny weighs more than 1.6kg and I read that male kittens can be safely neutered when they weigh even less...is that right?
