Unless your cat is a purebred and an excellent example of her type that will improve the breed by reproducing, I recommend she be spayed as soon as possible. Not only will you prevent a litter of unwanted kittens, you will reduce her chances of illness or injury due to her getting out of the house to seek a mate, you'll also eliminate her getting a life-threatening uterine infection and greatly reduce the likelihood of her developing breast cancer in later life. Two years old is fine for her to be spayed, the younger they are the less chance they have of developing hormone-related health conditions.
