Absolutely! Cats can go into heat as early as 5 months. That's why it's recommended to spay/neuter your cat somewhere between 3-4 months. In addition to avoiding a cat's unwanted pregnancy, spaying/neutering your cats will help it from developing spraying behavior and aggressive tendencies.

How does neutering your cat help?

Neutering your cat helps because it can't have babies and there won't be as many hungry and stray cats in the world If you neuter your cat, not only will he stop spraying (unless there's a territorial issue within the house or something else he is upset about), become less aggressive, and help not increase the amount of cats homeless, he will also live longer by about 2-3 years.


My cat is attacking a neighbor's cat and when that other cat runs off my cat gets aggressive towards me What do I do?

Stand your ground and do not back away from your aggressive cat. Snarl and growl back at him and say NO firmly. If your cat is a male, then NEUTER him immediately and this will help this sort of behavior. His testosterone (male hormones) is all up after fighting with the other cat and then he turns it on you. NEUTER HIM. If this is a female, spay her. If this cat is a female, I would worry about this sort of behavior. Again don't let her back you down. Get aggressive back at her. Stand up tall and snarl at her, hiss at her. Don't forget about spaying her.
