Hi I haven’t had cats before so a first time cat long term cat owner. The other died at 5 months or so. This one o have now is about a year old. She has had one litter. She went into heat at 7months. So now I have 5 cats. 4 are her kittens. They are about 3 months old, but still attached to mom. Anyway, the problem is that they are in door outdoor cats. And I am concerned that is i spay then I will put them in danger of being really beat up. My cat likes to go outside and she brings home creatures for her kittens to hunt. I don’t like it, but it’s what cats do right. She loves doing that stuff. I hear that once spayed they don’t do that so much. Won’t she be depressed. Cats never go through a menopause which means those sex hormones are an integral part of their lifestyle. I just don’t want to remove something from her that will make her miss who she was. Of course I can’t have her having kittens every year. . So I guess are they ok to be outside after being spayed, even though there are cats that haven’t been spayed and neutered and are much more aggressive. Will they be able to hold their own on their own?
