Janis,

JK>Oh yeah, been there with cats that needed spaying :) Hope you enjoy your new
JK>kitty :)

  I know this is a cats echo, but I want to make a point. :)

  My late wife, Janice, loved dachshunds, and got me partial to them.
But she got the males, because even though they pee all over everything
to mark their territory, it is CHEAPER to neuter a male, than to spay a
female. I know that's the case with dogs, but would think it's the same
with cats.

  Anyway, the dachshund Janice and I got 3 months after our first one
had to be put down, was taken to this grooming and boarding facility, as
Janice and I were going out of town for the weekend. He was black and
tan with silver dapple (which is rare, only 1 out of 100
whelpings)...and the vet tech fell in love with him.

  She exclaimed "Oh!! He's adorable!!". Then, (to the dog), she asks
"Are we neutered??".

  Without missing a beat, Janice popped off with "No, but my husband
is!!"...and the vet tech grinned, saying "Yeah, mine is, too".

  I was so red!! :P

  I think they have to be at least 8 weeks old before they can be spayed
or neutered.
