Best Age To Spey At?Bella is 5 months next Thursday, and we we're discussing today about getting her 'done' as shes getting older and slowly more inquisitive outside, what age would you recommend getting her 'seen too' at? The standard six months or before/a little after?

Misty and Leia were both done at 5+ months; Patches had been spayed before I rehomed her, don't know age. Bella hasn't shown any signs of coming into heat, has she? If she's going out, you don't want any kitten surprises, especially at such a young age...and toms will know, believe me! Sometimes they come in heat early; Misty had been scheduled in for the following week, and it had to be postponed as she started calling and rolling that weekend! She was only 5 months old at the time! Precocious little minx...my neutered Aby didn't know what to make of it....  |

I'd say go ahead and book it now Luke (awww, poor baby Bella) My boys have mid April birthdays, which makes them conceived about now!  The toms will be on the prowl - keep your baby safe! |

I'd get her done at 6 months otherwise she will be pregnant before you know it.  |

I think i will have words with the vet and see when he will see too her, she doesn't go 'out' out, only occasionaly in the back garden if someone is with her-but she prefers spaniel terrorising!! But still, no chances taken and want her 'doing' so she can enjoy a bit more freedom as she's itching too see where clementine goes beyond the wall |

I think 6mths is right Luke for a Cat that goes out, Moose is 8mths but has never been outside unless locked in the cat pen. dawn. |

Is the back garden "tom accessible"? Only takes one tom and one time,,,and kittens! Better safe than sorry ......... |

Back garden is quite open, lots of toms roaming around from over the fields/farm n things so it COULD happen, so will make the appointment for a few weeks and just keep in totally now |
