We already have two neutered female cats, aged 2 and 10. Both are domestic shorthairs, not pedigrees. They get on OK. One of our friends cats has had 4 kittens (also domestic shorthairs), we have promised to have one when it is ready to leave its mother (late Aug). The kitten would be neutered, but should we choose a male or female? What do we need to consider when deciding which kitten to choose?
