Somebody told me neutering can help solve the problems.
My questions are:
1. Where can I go to get my kitten neutered close to Kelana Jaya area - by a trusted and good vet off course!! ada yang kata vet kat area glomac tu kurang sikit...
2. How much does it cost?
3. How long it takes for my cat to recover?
4. What are the general views regarding neutering in Islam?
Thanks

Hello, Mira and Lieya, and welcome to Petfinder!
I'm not familiar with the vets in the Kelana Jaya area, so I will leave that question for another Petfinder member.
Spaying and neutering both of your kittens is a good idea, however, as it will not only prevent breeding but also prevents a number of health problems, including cancers, and a number of behavioural problems, such as roaming, fighting and spraying, which you've already experienced.
You asked about views regarding neutering in Islam. JAKIM received many questions about this, and issued the following Fatwa in July 2002:
Quote:
Below is the "Jawatankuasa Kemajuan Islam Malaysia" regarding the neutering of pets, issued by JAKIM (July 2002):
"All pets like cats and dogs are allowed to be neutered or spayed in order to maintain the health and welfare of both the animals and the community."
"Bahawa mengembiri binatang kesayangan seperti kucing atau anjing hukumnya adalah diharuskan dengan sebab-sebab tertentu iaitu bagi menjaga muslahat ummah."
After studying the messages of the aforementioned "mazhab"s and the medical viewpoint of the SPCA animal experts, 'JAKIM' has decided that neutering of cats for reasons of 'maslahat' is acceptable. It is in agreement with 'qaedah' (way) Fiqhiyyah which states "To choose the lesser of two evils".

I hope that information is helpful!
