i have a cat that is a 2 yr old runt. he weighs 9lbs, 3 oz. my vet is a little nervous about fixing him until he is at least 9.5 lbs. however, he enjoys having 'kitty sex' with the blankets off my bed. as a result, i either have to wash my bedding every other day, or sleep in kitty-come. EWW!!!!!!!! how do i get him out of this habbit??? since he is otherwise healthy, is getting him fixed my only option?

I agree with those that said get a new vet. Your cat's weight by no means makes him a runt. My local SPCA spays/neuters after a kitten reaches 2 lbs., which is about 4 mo.

I agree find a new vet. I have a Siamese and she weighs only about 7lbs and I got her fixed when she was only 2lbs. Always get a second opinion because vets can be wrong.

Your vet's a quack! The best time to fix a tom is 10 - 14 months old. It has nothing to do with body weight.
Get a second opinion, dear, and fix your puss.
Ha, ha - quack, quack!!

My adult cat weighs 7.5 pounds and she was fixed just fine. I would look for another vet, most cats are fixed as kittens, whats the difference.

Get him his own blanket and some furry toys. Then make him stay out of your bedroom.
When you are gone, shut your bedroom door! Just until you can find another vet.
