Zuzu - Still have Loki to get fixed. Nyx needed it.. desperately. LOL. He never sprayed, but he marked the dog bowl every day. (dog food bowl? Why the dogfood bowl? at least it was easy to clean...) Loki's only 4 months old & I'm going to put it off as long as I can. I'll make sure he never breeds, but I want him to keep his little pelotas for as long as possible to get as much growth in his bod as possible. All the kitties I got fixed at 6 months or younger are all small squirts. The ones who kept their bits are all monsters. My biggest kitty now, since Osiris passed away, is Odin, and he's a chunky 17lbs, no fat. I got him fixed at almost a year, but he never marked. But the kitty box.. woo was it stinky! He's musclebound.. especially in his head. Not a bright kitty, Mr. Odin. Osiris was about 8 months when I got him fixed & he was huge. Not heavy, but long long long (almost 4.5 from tip of tail to tip of front foot if stretched out like SuperCat). Thor's also a very long kitty, but not heavy (only about 11lbs). Conan, my bigfatbubbaboys, he was fixed when he was between 2-4 years old (he was a old tom cat off the streets of Miami) and he got his name because he was SOO muscle-bound. On the flip side, Flowers is a tiny little girl, probably 5lbs and is the same size of Nyx, even though she's 2 years old. Same with Cybele.. the vet thought that she was 5 months old when we got her microchipped and had to explain, no, she's 3 years old. Only one who's not tiny being fixed early is Raiden. But Raiden.. well, he thinks he's a dog, so that doesn't count.
But Loki's .. well, to be honest, I'm going to be sad when I get him fixed as he's so gorgeous. But there's too many kitties, not enough good homes. If you can excuse the messy table, here's a picture of him when he was about 9 weeks old.
This morning when I got to work it was a whole 1.9degs out there. It's a little cold for this time of year, we usually don't see this kind of weather until February. Maybe spring will come early? I'm oogling those nice roses from Hortico.. maybe I should look over their list & see if there's anything I can't live without.
