Traditionally, veterinarians have waited until cats are at least 6 months old before neutering them. But research shows that healthy kittens can be safely neutered at 6 weeks, or as soon as they weigh 2 pounds.Referred to as early-age, pediatric, or pre-pubertal spay/neuter, the procedure eliminates any chance of an âoops litter,â since female cats can become pregnant as young as 4 months of age.raditionally, veterinarians have waited until cats are at least 6 months old before neutering them.

Carbohydrates are the most abundant class of organic compounds found in living organisms. They originate as products of photosynthesis, an endothermic reductive condensation of carbon dioxide requiring light energy and the pigment chlorophyll. As noted here, the formulas of many carbohydrates can be written as carbon hydrates, Cn(H2O)n, hence their name. The carbohydrates are a major source of metabolic energy, both for plants and for animals that depend on plants for food.
Photosynthesis is the plant process where light energy is used to generate the production of ATP. The ATP so formed is used to form the bonds between carbon dioxide molecules and hydrogen atoms released from water by the light energy. The process forms sugar (glucose) molecules and produces oxygen as a waste product. At a glance, the equations: sugar + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + ATP energy (cellular respiration) and carbon dioxide + water + sun's energy --> sugar + oxygen (photosynthesis) look to be the reverse of each other.
