petsbestern - maybe you could print off some of these replies to try to convince your mom. I know you will not want your babies to have to go to the vet and go through surgery - none of us do! I was a crying mess when mine got done. But I know its for the best and I would *never* have an unfixed animal (well, except my fishies ).
