When to let LBK out?

7 replies

FeedMyFaceWithJaffaCakes · 19/07/2016 15:49

Our LBK is 16 weeks and were wondering when to let him out, so far he's only been in the garden with our supervision. he's had all his jabs and chip. Vet says he can't be neutered till 6 months. He won't keep a collar on unfortunately, we've tried 3 types and he just paws at them till the clasp Spring open.
Advise us please :)

I don't let any of my kittens out until they've been spayed/neutered (I have 15 cats and a 5 week old kitten I've been bottle feeding since she was a few hours old)

He's far too little. Keep him in until he's neutered. And teach him to come when you call or whistle.

Hormones can start earlier than you might anticipate in some cats. I'd keep him in/not give him free rein until he's neutered.

Just to add,
He does come to his name and when he's in the garden, he comes in when we shake a bag of treats and call :) okay, few more weeks to go yet then, thank you everyone.

He might be as biddable as anything right now but once those hormones start - which could be anytime soon - he could be over the fence and away before you had time to do anything! Best be ultra careful.

His hormones haven't kicked in yet, our relatives cat didn't make six months because the owner didn't want to pay for neutering 😡

He's a funny little sausage, he definitely wants to make an escape!
Don't worry he'll be neutered as soon as 6 months comes along.
