Sorry, here is another thread that I started on this subject.

From what I can gather, Maggie's breeder believes there are health reasons for waiting. But on the other hand, the vet has talked with me about the advantages of spaying earlier. I tend to agree with these reasons and I have had other animals and spayed as early as I was able. My cats went into heat just as they were being scheduled to be done. My first cat was actually spayed at the tail end of her heat and the second cat just after. I missed by literally 2 weeks of their appts. Soooo, anyhow, that is the reasoning for this thread...advantages or disadvantages.
