Singin' Sue 71615 Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 Our oldest daughter (eldest?) has a female, I think at least 14yrs old. Anyway, from time to time...she has us watch her for this reason or that. Funny thing is, she always starts screaming in heat when here. Funny how that happens, huh??? Anyway...my question would be: is it safe to spay an older female??? At this point, I would pay the bill!!! 20210710_113752.mp4 Quote
Alpo Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 I know little to nothing about cats. But about English - I believe that your oldest is the eldest. 2 Quote

Whiskey Business Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 So, you ask vet 1 for advice and he makes you take a blood test? Quote
Perro Del Diablo Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 More likely she is missing her parents and being in new house she is not used too Quote

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 My cats were all younger when I had them spayed. I would ask a vet. Quote

Yup...I would definately find the risks before moving forward. I thought she had spayed her years ago... Might be an incintive in watching her again...well, LISTENING her again. 1 Quote
Whiskey Business Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) She is a senior cat. 14 is equal to 72 in human years, so a vet may be hesitant to to spay her. And she is an indoor kitty. Like Allie said, I had my cats spayed early. At 15, cats are considered geriatric. Edited July 11, 2021 by Whiskey Business Quote

Alpo Posted July 12, 2021 Posted July 12, 2021 I've had dogs. Dogs go into heat maybe twice a year. According to this article, if cats don't get bred, they go into heat constantly. https://www.thesprucepets.com/do-cats-have-menopause-555438 Quote

Whiskey Business Posted July 12, 2021 Posted July 12, 2021 This is part of the reason I will never have a cat again. 1 Quote
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted July 12, 2021 Author Posted July 12, 2021 I have a spay outdoor cat and one of her Tom's that after 4 yrs is just allowing a few pettings...one nuetered indoor boy. He gets a bit vocal at bedtime...but usually quiet. I like not seeing vermon! Quote
