I have six kittens that are about six weeks old that are now eating dry food. 5 are male and one is female. I really am a dog person though I love my cats... Oh and the momma already got fixed so that won't happen again. I was just wondering when I should get the little ones spaied/nutered at what age is optimal. I have rarely done it before the cat was a year old... I also need to know about the same thing with my raggles... beagle, rat terrier mix. They are just now six months.
