And of course, there are thousands of unwanted kittens every year in the rescue centres. In my opinion you did the right thing and I am sure she is happy so.

She doesnt feel like she has to attract male cats so therefore she is more happy at home Posted: Sun May 22, 2005 1:18 pm spottydog Dog Expert Joined: May 09, 2005 Posts: 1106 Age: 51 No.Of Pets: 1 Pet Types: dogs Karma: 7 Thank Location: Republic of Ireland Medals: 1 (View more...) 2273 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: I rest my case! spottydog Posted: Sun May 22, 2005 2:00 pm petal Newbie Joined: Nov 21, 2005 Posts: 2 Age: 63 No.Of Pets: 9 Pet Types: dogs&cats Karma: 0 Thank Medals: None 0 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Hi Lu1, please dont feel guilty about neutering Clementine because she will be much healthier and stand huge less risk from mammery and other associated cancers. Also we have to remember animals dont have human urges to procreate!you have taken a very responsible decision which i applaud..well done Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2005 6:29 pm nemo TopDog Joined: Sep 16, 2005 Posts: 606 Age: 37 No.Of Pets: 1 Pet Types: dog Karma: 1 Thank Location: Coventry Medals: None 138 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: W didn't have our previous dog castrated and he got a tumor under his tail that the vet said was because he hadn't had the op so we had Oscar done and he's fine. I think it does make them happier and healthier if you don't intend to breed from them that is. I know you were talking about a cat but the principle the same.

Did i do the right thing to have her neutered? I feel incredibly guilty now. OMG YES, you did totally the right thing, there are so many unwanted cats out there all need loving homes, two of mine were rescue cats, I am feeling guilty for letting my youngest GET pregnant!! My son let her out, he is only three bless him, I stupidly forgot to lock the door!!! I am lucky I know where all the babies are going, but can you imagine letting a kitten go only to find out later down the line it was being neglected, I couldnt live with that. You did what a responsible owner should, be proud of that.

Plus, unneutered are more likey to runaway and get preggie to any old tom cat, be hormonal etc. So kudos to you for doing the responsible thing! Have no regrets!

Your cat will know no difference they dont think or have emotions like us humans. Please dont feel guilty, the urge isnt how we perceive it as.
