Responsible pet owners owe it to their cats to either have them spayed (female cats) or castrated (male cats). Neutering is also referred to as having your cat 'fixed', 'altered' or 'de-sexed'. Unless you are a registered and experienced breeder, neutering is highly recommended.Advantages of Neutering
* It prevents accidental and unwanted matings thereby controlling the feline population. It lightens the load on animal shelters that already have so many unwanted animals to care for.
* Neutered male cats are less likely to roam or seek out a queen that is in heat.
* Altered cats have a reduced urge to mark their territory resulting in little if any unwanted spraying. The earlier your feline is fixed the more unlikely it is that he will develop this annoying habit. Cat spraying is one of the major complaints pet owners have.
* Neutered males are healthier as they are less likely to get involved in neighborhood cat fights with the subsequent scratches, bites and wounds. Contracting common feline diseases are also reduced.* Neutered male cats are less likely to roam or seek out a queen that is in heat.
* Altered cats have a reduced urge to mark their territory resulting in little if any unwanted spraying. The earlier your feline is fixed the more unlikely it is that he will develop this annoying habit. Cat spraying is one of the major complaints pet owners have.
* Neutered pets tend to be more content, less volatile, more predictable and non-aggressive and certainly more affectionate and home-bound.
* Obviously spayed female cats have no hormonal urge to mate and tend to be more affectionate pets.
