He can be neutered at any time. The last thing you want is for him to get hormonal and start spraying - at that point it will be more difficult to curb the behavior. I have had four month olds mount females so don't think he's too young...

How old is the manx? What time frame are you looking at before you can afford a second surgery? You have to remember that intact females will spray as well. Also, a neuter is usually less expensive than a spay. If your manx is already an adult I would do her first. You also need to check with your vet - some won't neuter before 5 months of age or 5lbs, although others will do it a neuter at 8 weeks.

For what it's worth, still haven't neutered Shango (@19 weeks). He hasn't sprayed and is doing great in his two, gigantic litter boxes. But will be getting him neutered pretty soon.

Do SVs use one litter box for voiding, and one for BMs? What brand of litter does Shango prefer?

Different cats can be individual that way. I don't find that mine will do that but have heard some cats like one box for peeing and another for pooping.
