Thanks guys
I dunno if eastern europe in general is against getting pets fixed, but I can assure you on my vet's end it's not about profit or anything, the woman loves animals with all her heart and I don't think she even wants a kitten or money for any of this, last kitten they got from her tom they decided to keep because they just couldn't give it away. I mean she does get cats fixed but believes it's best they have a litter or two first, they mature sexually and all. Her reasoning behind not getting male cats especially fixed is because she says their penises and urethras don't develop fully, stay smaller and since males, especially persians are prone to crystals it's more problematic for them and more dangerous. She says abroad they have special foods for pretty much every condition but here we only have one type of each of these special foods, some cats won't take to them and it makes it difficult for some of these issues to get sorted out easily and importing big bags of cat food is very difficult here, that I agree with since I import video games all the time and if a package is too big it gets taxed to hell and back. However once a male matures sexually she has no problem getting them fixed. Same with females.
The lady I got Anastasia from, you could call her a breeder since Anastasia's parents both had a pedigree and all tho we had to go to Serbia to pick it up and we never did since we got her fixed and had no interest in showing her or anything, she wasn't happy AT ALL that we chose to spay her, she told us many times over the first few years when we still kept in touch what a shame it was we got such a wonderful pure bred cat fixed...come to think of it I never shared pics of Anastasia with you guys, I wasn't even able to look at them until very recently tbh.

^ She died due to complete and utter vet incompetence, had I met my current vet on time she would have provided the care a cat with CRF needed, but my previous vet...well he refused to even administer sub-q fluids saying she didn't need any...she did
Anyway, most people who'd find out she was fixed would give me a hard time over it or at least a negative comment, saying they think getting a cat fixed is cruel, she deserves to have a family of her own(there's HUGE propaganda about family/having a family in my country going on by the government for several years now which is a very nice thing IMO but people apply it to cats as well it seems lol)
But, more and more people are coming around and getting their pets fixed.
tbh tho for Milla I'm genuinely scared of her going under, dunno why but that feeling that something might happen while she is under anestesia simply hasn't let me go and I've learned in life to always trust my gut, but we'll see. In all honestly finding good homes for persian kittens here isn't a problem from what I know, I have 2-3 friends whose Persians and Siamese have kittens all the time and they don't have a problem finding home for them. Also our stray cats outside appear very healthy, there's a whole bunch in my neighborhood, we also have stray dogs many of which we care for like pets, my neighborhood alone has 3 dogs who are fed, given shelter, taken reguarly to the vet, even taken home if needed, they might be stray but they're no different from pets, they play with the kids, protect them and generally are amazing, tame dogs, normal pets who happen to spend more time outside, they are all fixed tho, I believe some years back the government took all dogs from the streets, got them fixed, gave them shots and released them back where they found them.
As for Milla still being in heat.
Fortunately I work from home, I'm an illustrator and graphics designer and can work on my own time so her heat isn't a problem at all for me, like she can be as active as she wants, I just make sure to pet her and such when she calls and she calms down, honestly so far her heats have been very easy on us all, I just switched my sleep schedule around to match hers and draw and such when she is awake and we're good...I just haven't had much time to sit down and play me a nice video game tbh, that Final Fantasy 14 there ain't gonna play itself. XD
He had to be neutered and become a mere premier (that's a champion neuter; only entire cats can be champions.)
