Neutering Your Cat
It is recommended by every vet as well as animal shelter that you neuter cat. This is because cats multiply quickly, and if they do not find homes, they must be put down. Spaying or neutering your cat is not a very expensive operation, and their are many programs available to help low income families get their beloved pets fixed so that the world doesn't end up being over populated with cats.
Neutering your cat can help with several issues that you may be having with your pet. Having your male cat neutered can make him stop fighting with other cats as well as discourage spraying- a way of marking his territory. It will also make his urine not smell so strongly in the box or outside of it if he has an accident. Having him fixed will completely eliminate the possibility of testicular cancer and will drastically reduce his chances of getting prostate infection. Having your male cat will "tame" them in a way, and make them more mild mannered and less likely to bite.
There are some myths that are attached to having your cat fixed, such as the fact that they will become obese and lazy. In truth, it is lack of exercise and over eating that do those things. Many people think that their cat's personality will change if they get them neutered, however, this is not true. It will make them more complacent but will not alter their personality.
