Hey viola ๐ I’m sure he’ll adjust quickly ๐ and if your vet says to wait till 5 months then go with vets advice .. Living in Ireland I deal with a lot of trap , neuter & release schemes and because house cats are almost unheard of in Ireland nearly all cats are outdoor/ barn cats with the rare exception so when we do get kittens we have no choice but to neuter very early. And I’m my experience with 100% sucess rate but even some vets here are slow to neuter young kittens. I’m greatful for the ones that do!
be very careful and make sure he doesn’t get outside while he’s still intact ..
KZ is correct about the butting you want to crib that as I find the boys are ao much worse when it comes to biting.. You can distract with toys if he starts to bite . The toys on sticks are best for this and then he’ll only associate playing and biting with them and not your hands. But he will still get you with stealth attacks ๐ so when he does even though it might sound impossible only use slow hand movements don’t just rip your hand away as doing this will only emulate prey and he’ll bite harder and cause more damage . So slow movements and lots of toys to redirect
