When it comes to cats, spaying and neutering is much more important then with dogs.
The best choice for the cat population, and for the health of the individual cat is to neuter/spay your cat between 3 and 5 months old. Kittens reach sexual maturity around 6 months old, but sometimes can mate as early as 4 months.
An unneutered male cat is better off neutered before they are 6 months old. Sexually mature cats will spray any vertical surface in order to mark their territory. They can also become aggressive due to testosterone levels. Neutering before these behavioural changes happen pretty much eliminates the chance of these behaviours even starting.
Female kittens in heat can spray, also. A cat or kitten in heat is a stressful time, and many stop eating properly as their energies are focused solely on mating. They will also stop at nothing to escape outside to find a mate. Finally, it is highly risky to let a kitten (cats are not fully mentally or physically mature until after 1 years of age) to become pregnant. Risk of health complications are higher to both the mother and the unborn litter.
Mainly, consider the population numbers. Okay, Okay, we're all sick of it, but too many people don't fix their cats, at least the females, and one female cat on a farm will soon have a litter, and it just goes on.
