My kitty is still young and hasn't reached puberty yet, so I don't know if she'll be the more vocal types. My dad said he spayed his childhood kitty when she was 6 and she was fine for those 6 years and didn't bother them. They only did it so she could go outside and play with the neighbor's cat as they couldn't afford to get her a companion at the time. My mom thinks it may not be religiously right to alter animals, and she's stuck at her views. What can I do? I respect them.
