Cat Forum / General Topics / September 2005I'm getting a cat, can anyone tell me the breed? Check it out.
Well, my sister found a friend at school who needed to get read of a cat, so I'm getting it. If anyone has read my posts from the past couple of days, I was looking for one. Apparently, he is three months old and has all his shots. He has, however, not been spayed/neutered, is he too young? She also has the litter box, cat bed, etc - this all works out great. Here is a picture, I don't know what breed he is: http://www.topdrunks.com/zeitgeist/stuff/cat.jpg > Well, my sister found a friend at school who needed to get read of a > cat, so I'm getting it.

I suspect that he's at least part siamese, but I can't tell for sure. IMHO, 3 months is not too young to be neutered. Also, IMHO, when a male is neutered at a young age, they tend never to spray. You will both be very lucky to have each other! Keep us posted, okay?

I'd wait 'til 5 months or so; if you don't, then at about 6 months you will have to deal with spraying, wandering (leaving even) and owners of unspayed female cats giving you dirty looks. > She also has the litter box, cat bed, etc - this all works out great. umm he ? she ? > Here is a picture, I don't know what breed he is: > http://www.topdrunks.com/zeitgeist/stuff/cat.jpg >> Well, my sister found a friend at school who needed to get read of a >> cat, so I'm getting it.

Perhaps, but it's standard practice with animal rescue to have them neutered or spayed as early as 3 months and they seem to fare well. We have 2 male and 1 female rescues that were all neutered/spayed at that age and they have been fine. >> She also has the litter box, cat bed, etc - this all works out great. > > umm he ? she ? Uh, she - the current owner, he - the kitten. >> Here is a picture, I don't know what breed he is: >> http://www.topdrunks.com/zeitgeist/stuff/cat.jpg SignatureWayne Boatwright *¿* ____________________________________________ My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four, unless there are three other people. > Well, my sister found a friend at school who needed to get read of a > cat, so I'm getting it.

Some vets will neuter at 3 months, but others think it's too young. All I know is that my one male cat who was neutered early is the one who has a tendancy to have urinary tract problems. The other 3 (neutered between 5 to 9 months old) don't have any such problems. Okay, the girl who is giving it to me wrote back. The breed is a "domestic short hair mixed with a lynx point siamese." > Okay, the girl who is giving it to me wrote back. The breed is a > "domestic short hair mixed with a lynx point siamese." Aha! I thought there was some siamese in there. He's a very handsome boy.

The breed is a > "domestic short hair mixed with a lynx point siamese." Okay, now do me a favor and stop referring to "him" as "it". After you hold him just once, you'll never again be able to think of him as an object.

Thats a version of one of the most common ways of getting free kittens: if you tell enough people you want one, one will turn up >Apparently, he is three months old and has all his shots. He has, >however, not been spayed/neutered, is he too young? He's a bit too young to be removed from his mother - you will have to socialize him - and perhaps a bit too young for neutering. Because he is so young, I recommend getting another, older cat to act a his teacher. SignatureT.E.D.

Three months is right at the low side of that range, and to me, the kitten just looks too young. SignatureT.E.D. (tdavis@gearbox.maem.umr.edu) I am sure he got a good home, and may you and he enjoy long life and companionship together.
