Egads! A family down the street from us has a 4-month-old male kitten (a pure black DSH cutie from our local shelter), who is allowed outdoors in the evening. For the second evening in a row, he's been "singing". What an ungodly racket!!!!! Vets around here won't neuter before 6 months, as they receive no training in pediatric speuters, but I really think this little guy is ready and raring to go. How can such a tiny creature (all of about 6 lbs.) make such a racket?
