Question
Last year, i adopted 2 male litter-mates.  When i get them "fixed", will that calm them down and help to avoid having them "spray"??  They are pretty good with each other, although the one has had some "accidents" and has a tendency to get in the fight mode with his brother.

Answer
Cindy,

Absolutely, I getting them fixed will help curb many aggressive tendencies.  However, please be aware that little kittens play very roughly with each other and this type of play is very normal as the kittens get older.  The "fight" mode is probably more rough play!

Anyway, if they are 4 months or older, they can be neutered.  The sooner the better so that they do not begin spraying all over the house!!!!!

Best regards... Norm.
