QuestionI am new to cat ownership at 40 years old. I found a little stray hanging around my driveway and crying a lot. After a few days of attention and love in the yard, I brought her in my home. She has been to the vet and she is a healthy girl.
I want to know about spaying... She is not now, nor will she ever again be an outside cat. She will also be my only cat even though I think she is just fantastic. I am not worried at all about pregnancy. I am however worried about other health complications if I don't have her spayed. What is your opinion about spaying vs. non-spaying when considering an inside, single cat?
Thank you! :)
AnswerHi Macie,
I would definitely recommend spaying your cat. Even though she stays inside, she will still go through a heat cycle that can be quite annoying. But most important, by having her spayed, it will help prevent medical problems such as cysts, ovarian and uterine cancer. She will be a much better pet if she is fixed.
God Bless,
Becky
