I am so glad to find this thread. I put off having my little CC spayed--I just forget with how little she is (6 lbs-small to me) but I noticed the other day that she is in her first heat cycle--I'm assuming it just started--I've never done this before and she will be 1 on the 26th. My male is neutered but he is sure interested in her more since this has transpired--I don't know a whole lot about this!
