Over the past few months I've noticed lots of people on the forums dispensing advice about getting male cats neutered for all the normal reasons, but also because they are so likely to become aggressive as intact adult males.
Now, I've been breeding bengals for 7 years and been involved in the cat fancy for nearly 25 years, having also bred oriental shorthairs many years ago. I've just never run across this "aggressive male" syndrome.
All the stud cats we've ever had have been sweet loving affectionate boys. Sure, they will be nasty to each other if allowed to get close, but never to us, anyone who came to visit or any of our females.
Have I been just incredibily lucky or is this a myth? I'd like to hear from the rest of the breeders on the forum, what your experience is with this.
