Day 5/365: Mau'y! the Cat

Cats are just too cute when they're napping.

Mau'y.  My wild, bratty, goofy, snuggly boy cat.  He's going to be seven this year, what's considered a "senior" cat.  Funny how that is.  He still acts like a bratty young kitten.  This came to me recently.  What if he still acts so immature because he was neutered at such a young age (8 weeks)?  There is research out there that neutering male dogs too early has impacts on their growth, and I believe, their personality.  So basically, neutering them so young prevents them from maturing like normal.  Mau'y was extra wild and crazy right up until not too long ago.  He's still that way at times.  It's such a contrast to my other cat, who was spayed at six months and remained a bratty kitten only until about a year or year and a half. Then she calmed right down and became a calm, snuggly cat.  Mau'y has only really calmed down and started snuggling in the past year or so. Anyway, he's probably about the coolest cat around, minus some poor bathroom habits at times.  <3 Mau'y!
