I hope I didn't give you the wrong idea, Neutering in and of itself does not produce the pooch. The lack of hormones, plus less activity level being inside, not being in competition for food, generally allowed to free feed dry food all day long, spending hours and hours a day sleeping and being loved as a pet, and the pooch develops...but trust me, the pooch is a much better alternative to a whole male marking up you home, the smell alone would kill you...

Whole males lead a different life, and I have never known any person wanting a pet to allow a whole male to stay that way after the first round of marking...if they choose not to fix them that is usually when the make them outside cats...whereby they get miles and miles of exercise a day and live more of a hunter lifestyle...A friend of mine fixed his cat and still made him an outside cat (random rescued cat)...he is poochless for the most part. And I am sure both my parents retired studs will be sporting their pooches within a year or so also...
