Hi. I wanted to know do female cats menstruate after being spayed? What is the best age to get Olive (female) spayed? Also I want me male cat, Theo neutered. What would be the best age for him for neutering?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cats. A female cat will no longer experience heat cycles or be able to become pregnant after being spayed. A typical spay and neuter kittens between 4-6 months of age. However, the procedure can be performed later if necessary. I hope this information helps!
