I have a tuxedo kitty who, when he was a kitten, used to adore my fiance. We had him neutered, and at the vet's office he was cared for by a male vet technician. Now he can't stand to be around men. He hisses at my fiance every time he's near. He hates strangers in the house and only cuddles up to my mom and I. He's become antisocial, the poor thing. He's 3 years old now, and a little better... my fiance can actually be in the same room with the kitty, and sometimes the kitty will hop on the same couch as my fiance. He's not the same as when he was a kitten, though.

Yes. Depending on how old and what breed the male cat is when it is neutered it could either stay as frisky as a kitten or become very docile. A friend of mine had her siamesse cat neutered at a very young age and he never grew out of the kitten stage. My Domestic Short Haired kitten was neutered at a very age and also stayed in the kitten stage until he died. My mothers siamesse cat was neutered at 6 months and went from being a kitten to becoming alot more mellow. It all depends on the breed and age.

In my case I whished they did. My one cat wouldn't stop terrorizing my other cat before it was nutured and after it was nutured it still wouldn't stop. We hoped nuturing the cat would make it less aggresive towords the other cat so I think the answer is no.

Yes it does ... if you have not waited to long to get it done ... its not that it changes the personality so much ... just the attitude ... you will find that the cat is less aggressive and maybe a little more tolerant ... he'll probably sleep a little more too .. but with a male it is really important to get them done because he will start to spray and mark everything you own ... and it stinks and is really hard to get out ... good luck to you

No, he was calm when we brought him home because he was still on medication. Two days later he was back to his normal. However, he's 9 months now and started humping things - nuturing won't change that.

depends.....how old is the cat? if younger then no...it stops them from marking/spraying territory although this can also help adult cats quit spraying (although isnt always 100% in adult cats) but there is no DRASTIC personality change, might be a little calming if cat is aggressive towards other male cats

in my experience yes they do. Every nutered cat I've had in the past loves on you about the first day they are home, because didn't leave them at the auful vet clinic, then they are pissed off at you for a while. both of my boys acted this way. Then they got loveable again, and they both got lazy and they both got fat. They aren't much interested in playing. But they are still my boys, and i get to love on them when they want me too. that's about it. *pout*

I have to say NO. My cat comes to me to be petted and usually ends up offering me his butt up in the air with the rest of his body on the ground (an arousal Mode). Okay maybe he is sending me a message. Kiss my .......

Yes they do, Males become less agressive and there not all over the girls they calm down (its more like they were teenage boys but then they become like 40 year olds).
