When do cats reach sexual maturity?

Question

my cat is about 5 months old. and i want to get him nutered before he starts spraying. but i dont have enough money right now so does anyone know when cats reach sexual maturity. because im pretty sure thats when they start doing that.

Answer 1

Yes male cats are able to "Create" kittens when the reach 5 months

Answer 2

Now is the time to get him neutered. Don't waste another minute.

Answer 3

The sooner the better.  I have been a cat breeder for 20 years.  My kittens sold as pets are neutered at 12 weeks as long as they reach 2 pounds.

You really don't want that male behavior that is driven by testosterone.

Try giving up something to facilitate getting him done sooner rather than later.  Like your soft drinks for the week.

When I didn't have two nickels to rub together I gave up simple things and put that $$$ aside.

When it came time to neuter my animals I already had most of the $$$$

Perhaps seek out a low cost spay/neuter clinic

Good luck

Answer 4

The average is about 6 months old.

Answer 5

around 6 months, sometimes 4 months.

you can go ahead and get him neutured, he is old enough

Answer 6

usually around 7-9 months for males...and that's usually when they start spraying and its not wise to get them neutered before then either but it is a good idea to do it before they start spraying because sometimes once they start (even if they are neutered) its hard to stop it...eh...i think you've got about a month or two that should be enough time for his urinary tract to reach full size and you save up enough money for the operation...answer above incorrect and irrelevant
