My regular Vet neuters male kittens between 8 and 12 weeks of age. Another Vet in a near-by town doesnt do it untill they are 6 MONTHS of age. What are the advantages of doing it at such a young age?

Hi There,
Early neutering often, but not always, will prevent male cats from spraying. Some will start spraying even before 6 months. By 6 months of age it becomes a habit.
It also helps to curb other undesirable male behavior, such as mounting other cats, fighting, and aggression.
My Freddie was neutered at 8 weeks and he has always been very gentle and has never sprayed.
Regards,
