I hate the following reasons not to spay/neuter a pet

[protege]

Slightly OT: I've heard that male cats who were neutered very young make the best cats. Just wondering if anyone has heard this and why it would be true.

My old kitty lost his 'male bits' when he was a year old. Since he was an outside cat at the time, it made sense...even though he had the entire farm to himself. Before he got the snip, he was a bit out of control. Afterwards, he'd calmed down enough that he was allowed inside at times. I didn't feel bad about it at all--I wasn't about to dump more kittens on my grandmother. She'd had that happen once before with Kirby, and wasn't about to deal with that.

More-or-less on topic. What pisses me off, are the assholes who have the kittens, and then dump them off on someone's farm. Right before she moved, someone did just that. We already had one cat...and he wasn't too happy about the new arrivals. Some idiot dropped off a mother cat and 5 kittens one cold night. Good thing I saw them, since they would have frozen to death They ended up sleeping in the garage...and then going to the shelter the next weekend. The kittens were sooooo cute, but she didn't want any more.

A vet told me that male cats are more affectionate than females. It's true in my house, my female cat is occasionally affectionate but can be very standoffish, this is especially true near the kids. The male cat is an attention whore, doesn't care who is giving him the attention, just lovin it.

Both my male cat & female cat are attention whores. My female is always meowing and bumping up against me to get me to pet her. And it's only me. Not hubs, not my daughter, not any other visitor. Just me.

As for my boy cat? He doesn't care who you are, as long you rub between his ears an scratch under his chin. I love him, I do, but he does demand his petting times.

My cat just *loves* getting petted, and usually will cuddle up with people. She does have her limits though, and sometimes get pissed if you continue to pet her. My other cat wasn't like that--he always wanted to cuddle and get petted
