By breeding we mean genuine pedigree breeders, not people who just like to see kittens born. This means neutering ferals and working cats as well as pet cats. There are lots of myths about neutering. Bored cats just sleep and eat. Neutered cats are often better hunters as they don t take time off for family matters.
Neutered males are less likely to spray smelly urine or fight with other tomcats.
They are also less likely to roam because they aren t looking for girlfriends. The belief that a female cat should have one litter before spaying is a myth. Kittening is stressful and often hazardous, sometimes the kittens or mother cat die as a result. Many kittens are abandoned when they grow out of the cute stage. Females in season call noisily to attract mates.
