Hello everyone. Firstly a bit of background. I recently became a cat owner for the first time after having dogs all my life (so *lots* of research needed). Our cat came from an acquaintance, is male and "about a year" old. He came from a multicat home where he spent loads and loads of time outside. We have had him about four weeks, and in many ways he couldn't care less if we are there or not but he is mainly trouble free with only a slight problem with spraying that seemed to go away after removing the feliway diffuser (I think he's that small % of cats it doesn't work for). So there is the background.
Anyway, he's in need of a trip to the vets. The previous owners told us he was due boosters of vaccinations and I have read much about the health benefits of neutering and so thats the plan. So here we come to the actual question, what kind of behavioural changes did people see after having their cats neutered? I am really interested in personal experiences. Many people say their cat became more cuddly and loving but so far our guy hasn't really shown interest in being that way (he only wants humans to feed him/throw toys for him). Do most people see behavioural changes or is it quite varied? I have to admit to being slightly worried that if he loses his interest in playing a bit then I have lots a way to bond with him and he might try to move out.
Thanks in advance
