We had both of our rescue kittens done at 4 months and the procedure didn't faze either of them one bit. They slept most of the rest of the day and were back to their normal boisterous selves next morning.  |

Same here with all the cats that have ever shared my life  Neutering your cats not only helps reduce the amount of unwanted cats, but also helps prevent many feline (some fatal) infections spreading. |

Might be a stupid question? Why cant cats get the snip the same as humans that way they can still have their fun but no unwanted kittens.

@tubthumper,
Yes, male cats, and female ones for that matter, can be sterilized rather than neutered, although it isn't done routinely for many reasons.
A sterilized male is going to 'spray' urine and fight and wander in search of receptive females
A sterilized female will come into season every few months and seek a mate.
Both sexes will be more prone to contracting infectious diseases, potentially fatal, and have a greater chance of developing uterine /testicular cancers later in life.
Neutered domestic cats can live very long and healthy lives.
Feral cats don't last as long...
Animals tend not to get the same pleasure from sex as Homo Sapiens: more a matter of urge than desire
