Baby is not yet sexually mature at 2 months, so spaying will probably not affect her behavior much at this point. Once she reaches sexual maturity her behavior could be affected, so I would still recommend having her spayed before 5 months of age. Lots of play time and toys are necessary at this age, and as she gets older she should gradually calm down a bit.

What a beautiful baby, congratulations! Spaying or neutering is usually done around four months of age, when they get their last kitten series vaccination and rabies. Make an appointment with your vet soon for a wellness check and to get started on the vaccinations so your new baby will have the best chance for a long and healthy life.
