It is the best interests of your cat, yourself and your neighbors if he is neutered or she is spayed. Without the powerful urge to procreate, your cat will be a much more docile creature to handle. There will be no more spraying by the male and no more “screaming” behavior displayed by the female when in season.

The decision to neuter must be made early. Male cats neutered after they have reached adulthood may retain the habits of the un-neutered male and continue to spray. Ask your vet’s advice on when is the best time to neuter or spay your kitten.
