Hi, I have decided to keep the two male kittens I told about in my other thread. They are 14 weeks old now. I am really doubtfull about weather to choose for castration or sterilization. If I understand it right, sterilisation is only the cutting of the 'seed tubes' (don't know the right term for it since I'm not a native speaker), and castration the removal of the balls. Sterilisation seems to me like the less invasive (less painfull, and better to recover?) option. But if the balls are still there, will the cat still have the thrive to go and look for a female to mate with? I cannot seem to find this on the internet.
And what's the best age to have the operation?
Thanks in advance!
