Dear fellow VegWebbers.

I come to you in the hopes that I will get the proper and needed advice that I am looking for. My situation is not serious, but nonetheless requires the advice of one who is more than somewhat proficient when it comes to this type of scenario. My younger brother, who happens to also be one of my roomates, recieved a Siamese kitten for his birthday a few months ago. I am now certain that it is displaying signs that it is in heat. I have heard certain individuals that I have come in contact with, mention that I should get it "fixed". Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding of the word "fixed", relates to something that is broken. Is my brother's kitten broken? Anyway, aside from that, my real concern is whether or not this "procedure" is unsafe or harmful. The very last thing that I would want, would be to take the kitten in, and they forcefully remove her insides. All I ask is that if anyone has experience dealing with this particular (supposedly common and natural) phenomena, they share that knowledge so I am capable of making a decision.
