Maiah's acting VERY strange.

[dandysmom]

OMG, he is an entire tom............??? Not good....

[Amber]

If Maiah is in heat and Socks is entire you really need to keep them apart

[Socks]

Yes, we are keeping them apart Socks still seems to be more interested in a pair of shoes right now then her who is rolling all over the place. I have called 24 vets in the area..ALL of them require the house-cats to be a year old...

They both are are 9 months old....So I'm a little ticked that I have to wait just 3 more months to make sure that Maiah will not get pregnant. I had a cat once who was at 10 months and got pregnant and she was fine..but I still don't want Maiah to ever grow up I guess >.> that and I don't need kittens all over the place XP So I'm going to go to nashville to see if there is any one who could do it.

[dandysmom]

That is weird! And doesn't make a bit of sense to me! Here in Washington our vets have no such policy: Misty was spayed at about 6 months, and Leia at 5 months.

[angieh]

Seems really strange - but if Socks has called 24 vets! Perhaps Tennessee really want more cats.

[Amber]

I was thinking the same as in the UK cats can be speyed from 6 months of age, I've even known them to be speyed at 5 months on rare occasions. I guess the policy is different in Tenessee although I can't for the life of me think why

[babycakes]

I cannot understand why a vet would not allow a cat to be neutered/speyed until it was 1 year old there is no medical reason for it and for it to be ok for a kitten to have kittens.


Socks I got these from the Young Williams Anbimal centre site. They do a low cost spey and neuter program, from 'prevent a litter' (ask them the medical reason for not allowing it to take place until a cat is one please as it may only apply to males but not females)

Good one BC - that must have taken some research!

[dandysmom]

Oh well done, BC! That should be very helpful; how nice for you to do all that research for Socks! (..I should have thought of that myself....)

[babycakes]

I actually just googled neutering cats tennesse and the page come up. So can't take much credit as it really wasn't hard work
