Is there a new trend in neutering kittens? I mean young kittens? I have always had male Maine Coons in the past and always, always waited until I couldn't wait any longer - typically around 8 months old. One of our cats we got from a shelter had just been neutered at 9 WEEKS and the Ragdoll we just acquired had been neutered at 8 weeks.
What are the ramifications? With the Maine Coons we always waited because we were warned an early neuter would affect the ultimate size. This is not the thinking any longer? What about higher incidence of urinary tract infections?
Thanks very much for any thoughts.
