As a pit bull owner, I have a problem with number 5. I don't disagree with the fact that in general pit bull dogs should not be your first choice as a companion for your cat. However, the pit bull (aka American Pit Bull Terrier/American Staffordshire Terrier) is a part Terrier breed, and was...

Thank you for the article. I'll give it a read :)

Well then let's shake hands, If you promise not to scold me, I promise not to share my sarcasm :) @catwoman707 Like I said I'm learning. I mentioned the 6 months because of Gemsgem response to my question in my intro thread. I am not convinced that cats being s/n are void of any health...

Denice, I am simply wondering if a neutered cat is unaffected by not having it's hormones through it's growing/maturing period. Perhaps breeders would have the most experience with the comparisons between littermates who were s/n and those that were not. I just don't see how doing something so...

I understand passion can come off as offensive.  I am quite passionate myself. I am not a child to be scolded and be made scared. I'm here for real, educational discussions I hope this board has. I am not a rescuer. I mean I've rescued before, but I don't have the same passion for it. I do love...

Oh and I did not say you are all full of scare tactics or any one else for that matter. I mentioned that those two reasons listed as cons -sounded like scare tactics. But now that I have read your post... Yes you are full of scare tactics. Discuss, don't stamp your feet and roar. I own a...

WAIT WAIT WAIT!  I almost read all of that. :P Look I am not trying to cause trouble and I agreed that cats should be neutered, I'm simply concerned with when and the health of the cat later in life. My dog has NEVER had a litter. That was my sassy reply to the internet posters of how many...

My cat had been quite tubby on his kibble (I also free fed him), and he started to lose fur on his inner thighs. Removing him from the kibble and replacing it with specific mealtimes of wet food and a teaspoon of The Missing Link Supplement seemed to do the trick. He's much more playful now...

Thank you Gemsgem! Gorgeous cat btw.  In your experience, at around what age do the male cats begin to spray?

Are there any breeders on here who can share their experience with adult intact male cats ? I certainly would love to hear about their experience. 

I was thinking of keeping an intact male cat myself. Not intact for it's whole life, but say up to the first year, simply because of health/growth issues. I would very much like to see some statistical data on the cons listed above, like this one:  'they can become destructive indoors due to...

Interesting. My cat was neutered at 2 months, he was quite small at the time, and is now 11 years old and about 10lbs. He was his heaviest about three years ago at 12lbs. Not a very large male cat. He has a weird shape to his body. I always felt it was because he was neutered so young, but I've...

Thank you all! I simply adore him. :) Interesting. In dogs, the consensus (depending on the breed) is to wait for the dog to fully mature. For some that may be at around 8-12 months, and for some large breeds not until they are at least 3 years old.  Nemo was tiny when I got him. Lots of...

Hello everyone!  My name is Elizabeth. I own a classy, tuxedo cat I named Nemo. He is 11 years old. I got him from a shelter at 2 months old where he was promptly neutered before being sent home with us. I wonder often if his health would be different had I kept him intact for another year? Not...
