letting my two kittens out

[jagarner]

at what age are they allowed out? they are due to go for their vacinations next week and spayed in january when they'll be six months old. is it ok to let them out after the operation?

I asked my vet when I took my cat for his final injections and was told he was ok to go out 2-3 days later. He is a male however and therefore not going to get pregnant!

With females I would be tempted to keep them in until after they have been spayed unless you want more kittens. Ask your vet when you take them for the op (or even the vaccinations) he will know best.

Keep them inside until a couple of days after vaccinations. As its so cold at the moment make sure they can get back in and have a ready supply of food to keep their energy up. Once they reach 5months keep an eye on them for signs of coming into season early as you will need to keep them inside (and away from each other if they are opposite sex).
My little one came into season early and I had to keep her indoors for two weeks, she was climbing the walls by the end of it!
I quite enjoyed it when my kitten was too young to go out as I actually got to see her, unlike now cos she's out strutting her stuff around the neighbourhood!

And before anyone says anything, he was neutered as soon as he was old enough so won't be getting any female kittys pregnant either!
