    I, on the other hand, recently adopted a male kitten. I was wondering your opinions on neutering a cat rather than a dog.

    I have heard that it decreases aggressive behavior, eliminates spray or urine marking (big one). I haven’t really heard any negatives of neutering.

    What are your opinions on this?
    Neutering and Spaying animals is cruel and no amount veterinarian propaganda is going to convince me otherwise. If you take on the responsibility of a pet, take the responsibility at face value. Don't cut corners, especially if it means using surgical means to make your care of them easier. For better or for worse. No exceptions. Rationalize it any way that you wish, the fact is that neutering and spaying animals is for the comfort of the owners and not at all for the health of the animal.
