We have a five month old male kitten.  The books we have read give
the impression that un-neutered male cats can not make acceptable
pets, as they will spray everything when indoors and fight and/or
disappear when outdoors.  However, I find it very difficult to
accept the idea of having him neutered.  Does anyone have any good
experiences with, or ideas about, tom cats?  Any horror stories?
We live in a small city - private houses with small yards, alleys,
and moderate traffic.  Please reply by mail and I'll summarize.
