Answer: Usually veterinary surgeon prefer to perform these neutering operations when the animals is old enough to withstand the operation and for the anatomical structures to be easily seen, but before puberty when breeding is possible and the cat develops the sexual behavior described above. This usually means minimum age of five to six months for the female and little older for the male.
Removing the gonads makes the cat develop into much more acceptable pet, especially in the case of females. Male cats ‘doctored’ before puberty will not usually developed in urine spraying habit or any under aggressiveness. Rarely, this behavior does develop in castrated males where they subjected to abnormal stress, for example another cat invading their territory.
