any cat experts/breeders here ?

[jackal]

do you know what an S means after the sex ?


e.g.

Burmese Blue Ms
Burmese Blue F
Burmese Lilac M
Burmese Lilac Fs

[LeeThePeople]

Spayed iirc.

[jackal]

ok, spayed is for females only and the S is applied to M & F
can you spay/neuter at 12 weeks old !

[Nolar Dog]

"Sold"

[randomman]

I doubt anyone would spay a kitten at 12 weeks old, not a small op IIRC!

It could be sold

[CCM]

think cats can normally be spayed at around 3 1/2 months onwards depending on their development.

Get in touch with your local Cats Protection branch, plenty of deserving kittehs waiting for a good home. Don't encourage cat breeders by buying from them.

Cats are usually spayed or neutered within the first six months of life.

Yes, just got my two siamese done yesterday, 5 and a half months old.

My 5 month old kitten has been on heat recently so I took her to the vet to be spayed.

They said she was too young to be done and I should take her back in 8 weeks as she hasn't "fully developed" yet.

Why the need to buy one?

Not much chance of finding a Burmese at a cat rescue to be honest.

They do come up now and again.

Now and again? Breeders have them all the time I like the idea of cat rescue places, but if you are after a particular breed then it's difficult getting hold of one from the rescue (unless you are really lucky).

The most important thing about a cat is its personality, not its looks.

I agree. I'd love another Main Coon. However, in the meantime we have three rescue cats.

I find the selection and quality better in the Waitrose bins.
