Keeto is asleep so ssshhh… he has a little visit to the vets planned for the end of this month!

As to early neutering, I know it’s a contentious subject and has been discussed many times on many forums but I personally don’t agree with it.
Topcat, I do however feel it ESSENTIAL that, unless you have bought your cat on the active register, then your cat must be neutered.
I have neutered all the cats I have ever owned and not one of them, male or female, has had a change of personality and they have been happy, and I have been happy.
Your male is only nine months old now, but think about the future and think about how frustrated he will be then. Then he won’t be happy and you won’t be happy.
Just looked at your other posts and I note that you also have a female Bengal called Roxi, so I presume she isn’t neutered either?

Topcat - please reconsider getting your lovely boy fixed. It won't change his personality but it is likely to increase his lifespan and health in the long term.

When I was younger I had a dog (female) who I naively didn't get spayed, as a result of this she got mammary tumors later in life and eventually had to be put down. While she still lived a long time (nearly 15 years) I feel massive guilt that due to my own lack of knowledge I put her in a position where she had to have an operation and then a couple of years later had to be put down when the cancer returned. Had I had her spayed the chances of her getting these tumors would have been much reduced.

I am not an expert by any means but this is a personal experience.

Both of my bengals have been fixed and they both retain their wonderful personalities.

Hi Kimberley,

I think you should inform your vets of his age though prior to you showing up, my vets will not entertain neutering anything male or female under the age of six months.
