Yes, it is highly recommended! Kittens reach sexual maturity at around six months old, although some will begin as early as four months! It is best for the kitten to be spayed before it reaches six months old, otherwise you will have to deal with constant spraying (very strong smelling urine), both male and female cats (when in heat) will yowl and call for mates, and will do anything to escape outside. Not only that, a cat spayed or neutered will greatly reduce the risk of numerous cancers and other health problems later in the cat's life.

Both male and female kittens can be spayed as early as 10-12 weeks of age, although this varies somewhat from vet to vet; some vets prefer to perform the spay procedure when the kitten is around 3 or 4 months old.

Do sibling cats have more chances to have deficient kittens if they mate?

Definitely. I would never recommend doing that. It would be cruel to the kittens.

Not all cats carry them, and this is why breeders are able to inbreed cats without defects through careful breeding.
