hi everyone,
I have two bengals a 3yr old nutered male (tyke), and an 11.5 month old unnutered female(tinkerbelle)
My quetsion is about Tinkerbelle, as a kitten she was diagnosed with FHV and i guess as a result she has stayed quite a small cat. How ever when i discussed nutering her with the vet we decided to wait and see how stressed out she got with her First season, and also to ensure she was fully matured, as i have often found females nutered early tend to be smaller cats, the vet also felt it was best for her to build up her strenght incase the stress makes her shed the FHV again.
well as yet there is no sign of her coming into call and i'm just wondering what is the latest you have ever had a girl come into call. she is the same length as her big brother but where he is a wopping 19lb i would say Tinkerbelle is about 10 lb. i know in humans weight can have a large effect on our reproductive hormones and wondered if this might be the case.
I have attached a picture of her, i'm not really worried else i would have taken her to the vet.
thanks for your help
