Behavioral Benefits - Cats Lots of people love cats because they have such interesting personalities. They do, however, have some quirks that can be no fun for an owner. Some of these personality traits can be avoided if the cat is spayed or neutered.
Some owners complain that their male cats leave little messes around the house.
If a cat is neutered, he is far less likely to mark in the house. If a male cat is not neutered, he may want to roam around the neighborhood. As he wanders around, he may meet other cats. Often times, cats who do not know each other will fight, and they can really hurt themselves. Some neighborhood cats never visit the veterinarian and may have cat diseases.
