No, it's not too late to have your cat neutered. You've added a great deal of stress to your cat by bringing the new animals into the house and he very well could start spraying. (I'm kind of surprised he hasn't already.) It'll cost some bucks for sure, but it'll be worth it in the long run.
Good luck.

By all means, get your cat neutered. Getting a pet spayed or neutered is one of the nicest things you can do for them.
A neutered pet will live longer, and tend to make a nicer housepet.
It is never too late to get a male cat neutered.
I don't know where you live, so I can't say exactly how much it will cost, but it is cheaper for a male cat, as the operation is much simpler. In many parts of Canada, the full cost of having a male cat neutered ranges between $75-$90.
You cat will be put to sleep with anesthetic, and will not feel any pain. He may feel groggy and sleepy for a few hours afterward, but should be back to his old self within even just a day or two.
Try to train your dog (your parents can help you) to leave the cat alone. It's not all that great for your cat to have to stay in your room all day long. They need more exercise and things to entertain them.

It's never too late to neuter a cat (the one I have now was neutered at 7) The cheapest place I know of is the local Humane Society. I adopted my cat from there in the spring, so maybe this isn't accurate because they were having an adoption clinic, but it cost me $75 total (neutering and shots) Even at 7, he's just as spunky as the kitten I used to have. Get the girl kitties spayed at about 6 months (ask the vet at the Humane Society)

It is never too late to neuter your cat. His discomfort level will probably be pretty low if you make sure to keep his area clean. The cost varies from area to area, in my area a male cat is around $120. If he is an indoor cat then there probably won't be as much weight gain as there is in outdoor cats who are neutered. My best advice is get it done soon, and when your kittens get old enough get them spayed as well. Females are a lot harder to handle than males when they are not fixed. They go into heats and they become TERRIBLE to live with, and their scent draws the uneutered males from around the area to sit outside your house calling to the female. Good luck!

You need to learn a bit about pet care sweets.
|Get that animal fixed and now. He has to be spraying your room daily and how can you stand it?
If the dog is a problem put IT outside and let the cats have some freedom to roam the house or there is going to be a knock on your door for animal cruelty.
Oh, yes he can be neutered at 4.

No its not to late espeicially if you don't want any kittens. you could neuter the females but females are more expensive to neuter than males. My cat was neutered he was feeling sorry for himself for a few days but now he is perfectly happy.
For prices of neuting, well it depends on what vet you take him to. My vet only charged £25 for males and £35 for female cats.
I would neuter if i were you because you will have alot of kittens otherwise. Obviously if you want kittens go ahead have fun :D lol.
Have fun with your cat whatever you decide to do!!!!!

It's not to late...I would get it as soon as possible...And i think it's $100.00 for a male cat...But if you don't and the kittens get older,You will have 2 problems:1 your male cat will be pissing all over your house and cat piss is so stinky and 2 you will have a house full of baby kittens....

...male cat? Pees everywhere if thier not spayed.. I could never ever do that to myself .
..get him done and get the girls done when thier fully grown you can call a vet and simply ask the cost.. its not a bad thing to do.
...and get the dog too might make it.. get along with the other unics.

It's never too late to have your pet spayed or neutered. They're not going to feel "inadequate". Your pets may feel some discomfort, but they're not going to feel "sad".
