Question
I want to get two male kittens but I am afriad they will be too territorial. Does it make a difference if they are fixed and are brothers?

Answer
Haley,

Two male kittens will do fine growing up together as long as they are both neutered!  Whether or not they are brothers will have no bearing in the long run.

The extreme territoriality of whole males does diminish once they are neutered.  The kittens could be neutered as young as 12 weeks of age, but most vets will want to wait until they are a bit older.  I would have them neutered by 4 months of age.

Best regards... Norm.
