Neutered male
Hi Cybervet,
My neighbour found her male kitten at 3 months in the bush next to our complex. She adopted him and had him neutered at 6 months. He dissappeard for a day and was told by someone who has had many male cats that even if they are neutered, if there is a female on heat they still respond and go looking for her. I would have thought if males are neutered this would eliminate roaming for mates. Is this true?
thanks
