I'm getting another cat because my friend is moving and cant take him with her. I already have a male cat, that isnt neutered, will he fight the other male cat that is neutered? can i expect them to get along or no?

Your male cats are gauranteed to fight. Especially since the current cat is unneutured. Cats are territorial to begin with, but they are even more so when they are not fixed. Introducing and new male cat into an environment that has an unfixed male is definately not the best idea.

An unneutered male will become VERY territorial and could cause severe fights and will spray all over the house. You should get him fixed as well. I have two neutered males, they are 3 months apart in age and they are the best of buddies. One is a very large 17 pound orange ans white domestic shorthair (mutt) and the younger is a purebred sleek 12 pound Bengal cat. They are each 2 years old now and love each other. I don't think with would have happened if one was not neutered. But they were kittens 6 months and 9 months old when I got the second one, so that has a lot do with it. The 9 month old had been neutered for 4 months and I don't know how long the bengal had been neutered since I got him at 6 months old and he'd already had that done.

2 male cats would both have to be neuterd in order to get along!! the un-neutered male will still try to fight with the neutered male!!!

Your cat might fight, and he's likely to spray. Why not have him neutered? The chances of them getting along will be much better.

Best to just get your male neutered. He'll live a longer, happier, and healthier life that way. Beyond that, the two boys may need a little time to get to know each other, but once they do they may become best friends. It's not uncommon for males to buddy up.

Maybe, but I wouldn't keep an unneutered male with a neutered male because the unneutered one is going to spray like crazy to mark his territory and the place is going to reek.

Neuter your cat, he could get others pregnant, and is more likely to get cancers at an older age.
