DO IT!    Forget about nasty habits, In a state of nature male cats
	  DIE YOUNG this is survival of the fittest with a vengeance.

	 Our male siamese is now 13 years old.  He was neutered at age
	 3 or 4 after our vet (a pure cat man!) said that at his then
	 current state he would not last another 2 years.  Even if they
	 win all thier fights and dont die of thirst locked in someones
	 basement or garage where they wandered unnoticed, the constant
	 fight against infections from bites and scratches weakens them
	 and ages them prematurly.
					Good Luck,
