As with most adoptions in my area, you have to have your kitten spayed or neutered by age 6 months. In my case it's spayed.
I'm scared to have her spayed though. She 4 months old and in great health (as far as I can tell I am not a vet but I have been around 100s of cats growing up). She's very active and such...but for 4 months she is small.
I have another cat, Ninja, who is maybe 8 or 9 months (I don't know what month he was born he was a rescue from my mom's) and he makes her look dwarfed. I got ninja to be a mouser (catch the mice and rats in my home) and to be my companion while my boyfriend is at work.
Back to Lucy, I'm scared that she's going to pass while they are doing the operation or that she isn't going to recover properly. Can anyone tell me how to make sure she is comfortable? What should I give her when she gets her appite back: wet or dry food? How do I keep her from messing with her scare while it's healing. Is there anything I should know that the vet won't tell me?
I did my own research but I would like to hear from more experienced owners. I just don't want to loose my baby kitty...
