Kitten Questions

[theren_911]

Hi I 've had Mr Bojangles for a month or so now, so he's ~ 4 months old. What age is best to get his nutts cut off? I heard that it can make some cats nasty, is that right?

Will a little sniff of Baileys be bad for him every so often - as he seems to love it!

speak to your vet about getting his nuts cut (i think we had our kitten done pretty soon after we got it)

I wouldnt give him booze, he is still very young and is developing...not a great start in life for kitten...being fed booze! tut tut!

think i may be nasty if i had my balls cut off- good luck though!

If you don't have him done he will increase your local cat population by hundreds in a very short time. He will also start to pee everywhere and there is nothing worse than the smell of tomcat pee.

Do the right thing and ask you vet to book him in.

We acquired our tom cat, Trumpton, at the same time as we got our house (buy house, get cat free scenario). The vet said he was between 3 and 5 years old. He had the unfortunate habit of peeing on any plastic bag he saw, and would get into regular fights with the other bigger (and more brainy, as Trumpton is a cat of very little brain) toms around our area. We had several vet's bills for abscesses as a result of his injuries. He was sent to the vets for nut removal as soon as he was fit enough, and has not peed on a plastic bag since, nor got into fights.

Hence is now cheaper and happier cat. Although I think he may miss the hours he used to spend washing his balls!
