BENEFITS OF NEUTERING
Female
•A female cat can start reproducing from around five to eight months. It is NOT beneficial for a female cat to have a litter before spaying! This is a myth.
•The female won't call and wail during their sexual cycle.
•Will be less likely to contract diseases spread by bites and reproductive activity.
Male
•Will become less likely to roam (reducing the risk of being run over).
•Will become less likely to fight, thus improving their chances of avoiding (FIV) and feline leukaemia virus (FELV) which are transmitted by cat bites and reproductive activity.
•Will be less likely to mark their territory with urine (spraying).
