Yes, male cats will spray, stray, and fight.  Some are worse than others and
some may even be totally acceptable as pets, but you won't know until it's
too late.

Don't feel bad about neutering the cat, he will forgive you.

Be aware that neutered male cats are suseptible to a urinary condition
(called cystitis I think) which can be quite severe.  When you are in to see
the vet about the neutering also ask about this other problem and learn
what symptoms to watch for.  Its a common enough problem to be alert for but
not enough to worry about.


May all your cats dream of being race car drivers.  Mine do and they go
RRRR RRRRR RRRRR.
