The only ways neutering will change him is that he won't crave going out to
find female cats in heat. His pee won't stink to high heaven (sexually
mature male cats' pee **stinks** - enough to make one's eyes water), & he'll
be less likely to spray. IOW - good idea to get him neutered now, at 5½
months. He'll never know the difference, but you will. ;-)

Hi, all:

I haven't posted to any of the .cats groups since we lost KitKat 3 years
ago, but now I have a question....

On the 25th of May we discovered on the back stoop a frightened little
kitten about 6 weeks old (said the vet). KitKat had taught us to obey, so
there was no question about taking him in.

PJ is now a swaggering young cat about 5½ months old. He's an indoor cat

bcz
we don't want to lose him to the highway predator like we lost KitKat (he
even looks like her).

Tomorrow he goes to TED to ...well... get fixed. There's not really time

to
rethink the decision, but I'd like to know how other folks feel about
neutering a pet they love.

I guess what I'm asking is if it's the right thing to do *to* him or for

him
now. He's energetic and strong-willed now, on occasion very sweet, but
sometimes more than we can handle. How will neutering change him?
