Mini_ghost420 Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 a lot of the pros don't really apply to her. she literally don't leave my attic unless I carry her out of here. the one and only reason I have to actually do it is the reduced rick of pyometra. but I don't know how high her risk of that is
midnight Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 If it doesn't fit your cat's needs, then don't. When I was speaking to you about it the other day, my opinions were solely based on our cat's needs. We really had no choice as we have 3 males and a female. And they are around each other all day and night. 1
Mini_ghost420 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Posted October 5, 2018 my cat spent her whole life in a single room. I found her as a feral kitten and locked her in my bedroom with me as part of the taming. now she just don't leave. she's actually scared of going outside 1

Especially if the cat feels safe in knowing their space and finds out that there are no ceilings or walls outside. 1
mthor Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 If memory serves me, there are certain cancers that spaying a female cat will help prevent, but cats aren't my specialty, and it's been a while since memory served me. @katt_goddess Halp!

mthor Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 That, and she won't go crazy when she's in heat. But katt's a better source of info than I am, and I'm sure there are a few other cat people around that would also be helpful (I got my cats as adults, so they were pre-fixed, so I didn't really have to think about it) 1

garbagepailcat Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Among the other important health and reproductive concerns, once a cat goes into heat, she will keep going into heat unless she mates. So unless you want a really loud, horny cat, I’d highly recommend spaying.

Breast cancers. Kitties can lose their titties too.
