I have at least one book that says early fixing is better for cats. That there will be a quicker turn around time for recovery. The one book I have says that as long as the cat is 2 pounds it can be done as early as 8 weeks with no harm to it according to the veterinary association of america.
Last time I was at the vet I asked at the desk, forgot the vet himself, and they said they do it at the 6 month average.
Has anyone here had a kitten done young or know anything about it? Is it worth trying to talk the vet into an early nueter so I don't risk any of the bad behavior if he decides to use his hormones a bit early?

I had Crash spayed at 8 weeks old. She is fine, and seemed to heal up faster then my other guys.
Read this article. I think the 6 or 7th paragraph talks about early spay/neutering.

My Vet still does the 6 lb or 6 months, whichever comes first but the low cost center that I take ferals to does them at 12 weeks. My suggestion is to always do what the Vet YOU trust suggests
