I don't know if any studies have been done in felines, but there's a growing body of evidence suggesting that dogs need their hormones for more than just sexual reproduction.
I DO NOT advocate BYB's, commercial breeders or irresponsible pet ownership. In fact I feel that very few companion animals should be allowed to reproduce. I support only responsible breeders (health testing, pedigree research, and spay/neuter all pet quality animals etc).
I also support rescues and shelters for cleaning up the messes that irresponsible humans make.
That said, I certainly would not want to shorten my dogs' lives because they didn't receive the benefit of being allowed to mature. This study also cites adverse effects in human females that have had a hysterectomy before 50.
