What it the best age for a girl kitten to be kept from getting pregnant?

Is six weeks soo early that it could tramatize the cat into being mean? I think that is what happened to my cat.

It shouldn't have any effect on the cat's personality. And spaying her at 6 weeks means she won't have a chance to get pregnant. A cat in heat can be really mean!

about 8 months or a year. best age to have kids for your cat.

yes far to early 4-6 months is the right age .you got a vet to operate on a six week old kitten,that would never happen here in the UK

Talk with your veterinarian about when the right time to spay your kitten is. Most vets will say that they spay when the cat is 6 months or older. The vet who works with the animal shelter I adopted my kitten from starts spaying when the kitten weighs at least 2 pounds. My kitten was 3 months old when I got her and she was already spayed by then.

Six weeks was early, most vets would recommend that get them spayed at a year when they hit sexual maturity.I don't know if would affect their mood or not.

What? How are you keeping your cat from getting pregnant? I don't think keeping it inside away from male cats will traumatize it. If you get it spade that will prevent it from getting pregnant and won't traumatize it. The only way to traumatize a cat would be to stick the cat near a male cat and spray it with water from a squirt bottle each time she gets near the male.

There are alot of humane clubs who are spaying cats as early as 6 weeks, although I do not believe this will have any effect on a cats personality any vet will recommend that a cat not be spayed until she goes into her first heat. I do believe that the vets statistics show higher rates of cancer in cats spayed too early. however if she is already spayed there is nothing you can do. But it should have nothing to do with her attitude. you may just have a bitchy cat

Best to have her spayed as early as your vet will do it and then you do not have to worry about trying to keep her from getting pregnant,

Spaying generally will not change an animal's personality, but there are exceptions to every rule. I've never had a pet's personality change nor have I ever seen any of my client's pets change personalities. Six weeks is an awfully young age to have a cat fixed, male or female. At my clinic we recommend females be about 6 or 7 months and males 7 or 8 months. At the earliest I would say 4 months. Majority of female don't go into heat until about 10 months or later. However, just like in humans, some cats will go into heat earlier. Especially if it's spring or summer.

they say your not supposed to fix a cat untill they are over six months. Cats dont get all their parts until then.

Seems like 6 months old to a year is the rule.

Six weeks is not too early. Most clinics don't spay until 6 months, but many humane societies are spaying them regardless of age, as long as they are 2lbs. Cats just like people change as they age - a six week old kitten is learning and experimenting just as a toddler would. I doubt it's mean just learning it's boundries. Don't allow the kitten to do whatever it is that you think is mean.

6 weeks is far to young 6months to 1 year
