I would recommend neutering an outdoor male cat. First of all it would help prevent unwanted kittens being brought into the world (this should not just be the girl's responsibility). Secondly, it should prevent your cat from getting beaten up during mating season.
It's minor surgery, and it's fairy cheap to do. By the way, it takes about a month for the testosterone to get out of his system.

YES! males are very territorial. a male tom cat might get into several fights over territory OR mating rights to females of irresponsible owners that don't have their females spayed.
MALE cats contribute to the pet over population JUST as females do!
help control the amount of unwanted litters by neutering your cat!

Yes, it will keep him from fighting so much and running off and also prevent a lot of unwanted pregnancies. It's also been proven that neutered and spayed cats live longer.

All outdoor cats should be neutered or spayed. No exceptions. Show cats & breeding cats should not be let outdoors.

Absolutely. Otherwise he will mark the nneighbors' property (which will make them mad at you) and contribute to the overpopulation of unwanted kittens. A neutered tom is less likely to get into fights (meaning fewer expensive bills to treat abscesses and less chance of getting FIV) and will probably hang around home more.

Yes. That way he won't be contributing to the major pet overpopulation problem. Plus it will reduce or elimate the chance of him getting certain cancers. And it won't affect his mousing abilities, make him fat, or any of those other myths about neutering cats.

One word, YES! Cats can have 4 litters a year, and a male cats can make a lot of babies.

Yes, it would be the responsable thing to do. If you don't get could get female cats pregnant. Even though you wouldn't have to take care of those kittens, think of the hassle for the family that does have to.

Hell, yes. All cats and dogs should be spayed or neutered. They will live a much healthier long life.

Yes it will spray everywhere if you dont. You should have 200$ instantly for vet prices. Every day thousands of kitties die of being put down because of population increase! Even nutering 1 cat can help!
