Pet sterilization becomes law in LA

My cat was spayed at 10 weeks. There was a website hubby found that said cats spayed young have few ill effects; the most common side effect was they grow longer leg and arm bones, but on the whole, recover better than cats a year old or older. I don't still have the site but I do remember it was quite reassuring.

Samwise started to mature early- I knew it was time to visit his doc when he started growling in his sleep. My sis still hasn't gotten her kitty fixed; Onyx is well over a year old, but I suspect Bobbi is afraid she'll get hurt and so is holding off until she absolutely has to do it. Her kitty is an indoor cat, so no worries about mini-kitties, but I'm surprised the yowling, etc, hasn't changed Bobbi's mind. She adores that kitty, which I just love because I was always the one with cats in the past. She had a super-cool snow dog (Kera) for years that liked nothing better than to eat kitties, so this is the first kitty she's had in a looong while. Onyx is a handful, but super-smart and totally adorable.
