They will accept x ray photography to test the total length of left radius with the electronic calipers, body weight examination, and behavioral observation at an interval of 2 months during 2~12 months old. All the data will be analyzed with Manova test. We hope to prove the early neutering is a good strategy for resolving cat overpopulation and stray cat problem.貓早期絕育動物福利catearly sterilizationanimal welfare
