From around the age of 4 months, kittens reach sexual maturity and are therefore capable of breeding and producing kittens themselves. Most people do not have the time or desire to breed from their cat and do not wish to add to the number of unwanted cats and kittens already looking for homes. Neutering a cat — castration in the male removal of the testes , and spaying the female removal of the ovaries and uterus — not only prevents unwanted pregnancies occurring but also curbs unwanted behavioural patterns associated with sexual maturity and reduces the risk of certain diseases. Kittens, especially young kittens, can be hard to sex, and therefore, mistakes are often made. If you are in any doubt you should ask your vet they will check prior to neutering anyway. In the past, it has been suggested that all female cats should be allowed to have one litter of kittens.

The following day, he discovered Xiaopi had been left out of his cage during the night and had mated with at least five other pets. They wanted me to explain the situation to all the other owners. The cat's owner later said the hotel apologised and offered to pay for the Russian Blue's fluid therapy.
