get treatment from the vet - the stuff from the supermarket doesn't work. Has she had her jabs? Get Advocate from the vets, Frontline is losing its potency.

Get her spayed at the same time - she needs two lots of jabs 3 weeks apart- even though she is an inside cat diseases (and pests) can be brought in on clothing and footwear. SHe will need spaying as otherwise she could get very ill being in constant call.

It's probably better to wait until she is 6 months, but ask the vet before you decide.

She's 4 and 1/2 months now - so some vets will do it, many wait until 6 months but that's really the latest you want to leave it - ask your vet and see - I have a vet that neuters at 12 weeks.
