No they are not too early.
Our vet surgery desexes from 4months of age and the animal protection agency in australia desexes at 8 weeks of age.

Any good vet that has an ounce of good judgment will tell you to let females have kittens at least once before getting them sterilized.
Female cat will be far more sociable later on, if they are allowed to have kittens and it is also beneficial for their health.
It's an inconvenience I will admit but if you highly consider your females and intend on keeping them for the remaining of their lives then you should definitely let them have kittens at least once.

nooooo...they are not to young....fix them immediatly....contrary to what ppl think letting them have a litter before fixing does nothing but provide more kittens....it does not change their personality or make them healthier in anyway...it may actually make them less healthy because they could get an infection from birthing.

Not at all. Earlier the better. Thanks for helping with cat "over population". As I type now, there is a beautiful stray female outside my window in heat calling for a "DATE". I applaud people like yourself concerned with the health, well being & longer life of your cats.

I think that they are at the right age to fix. The sooner the better.

No its not too early. Most vets do it much younger. My vet wanted them to be 5 lbs, age didnt matter.

They are all girls, as long as you have no other cats and you keep those girls as inside cats, no problem.

It might still be too young.
Plus if you have 3 female cats, you don't have to worry if they stay indoors.
Good luck!
