What are the advantages and disadvantages to neutering a female
cat?  In particular, does the cat suffer when it is in heat?
Is there a danger to the female if it is not neutered and
kept away from other cats?  

If the female cat is going to be kept away from male cats, would
there be a reason to neuter it?
