I have a 5 month old Devon Rex male kitten. He is intact (for the moment.) We had an appointment to neuter Monday morning, but Sunday night I got a call from the breeder asking me to seriously consider leaving him a breeding male and showing him (I was already planning on showing him as a premier post neutering.) I know he is not "supercat" but he is quite nice and I had even requested breeding rights before I bought him because I was interested in becoming a breeder. On the other hand, he is literally part of the family and we love him DEARLY and I dread the thought of having to sequester him away from everyone if/when he sprays and/or his personality changes. He is truly a joy and I don't want that taken away from him or us. Jack is literally my disabled son's best friend.
My questions are: Can a male cat be a breeder and stay a lovable pet? What do you do to discourage spraying? *IF* Jack were to stay intact, he would be the only male here. Would that discourage spraying?
Here is a current pic of my chocolate boy if you would like to see him-
