Whilst my cat physically recovered, I think she is more moody since being spayed. I had her spayed not long after giving birth - unfortunately she was also pregnant with 2 more kittens at the time which were terminated as her pregnancy was only discovered during the operation. The mother - who is also very young (she gave birth at 15 months) was very protective to begin with and when the kitten got to about 6-7 months she started to show aggression. I have had almost the exact same problem that KittyHelen has outlined - except that I only kept one of the four kittens (a female). It is impossible to have all cats in the house at night as the mother will wake us and the kids up with her angry shouts! We had her spayed a few weeks ago (she was just pregnant again at the time When the kittens were about 4 months old the mother started to be more aggressive towards them and now if she sees one within a few metres she will spit, hiss, growl and yowl angrily at it and even attack it. We found a home for 1 kitten and decided to keep the other 3 (1 female, 2 males), which are all extremely nice-natured young cats. She weaned them with a little bit of aggression as we would have expected - chasing them off when they came to suckle. When she had her kittens (4) she was a great mother, very attentive and tolerant, and it was a joy to watch her be with them. Temperamentally she is the sweetest cat, very vocal and affectionate, never aggressive. We originally had two old cats and got a kitten which then went onto have kittens at about 14 months old. I just found your great forum when researching my cat problem - I hope hope you might be able to help.
