Oh dear! amazing how people dont check to see what sex their kitten are, my
daughter thought she had a girl for weeks until I saw it! it was very
obvious it was a boy LOL

I suppose she just took your word for it, they normal check boys to see if
their are developing ok

It depends on the cat, is he an indoor only cat? the RSPCA could of told
you what age they like to do it, many people say very young some say wait
for them to fully mature, it depends on the type of cat really, its cheaper
to get a male neutered ;-)

I never saw my Mums' boys nipples, but then again, I wasn't really looking
for them :o)

I had an incling that it was a boy because of the obvious, but SO didn't
think so - men, eh ?

I am thinking of keeping him indoors only. The vet said that when he starts
loosing his teeth, it will be time to neuter him - about 5 months, & he said
that is when they start spraying, too.
It seems Zee B has wised up after his first visit to the vet. He was
aggitated & sick on the way there (poor thing :o( ), but seemed ok coming
home & when I tried to give him his second worming tablet tonight, he just
spat it out, whereas the first one got taken straight away. We had to open
his mouth and shove it down his throat - I felt bad doing it, but it had to
be done.
Thanks for the reply :o)
