An unneutered tom is a pain in the neck. Trust me, been there done that. He will run from window to window..calling at the top of his lungs..MEROWWWWWW.. in cat that translates to "girls, here I am. oh girls??" He will also spray foul smelling urine on anything he can get too. He thinks it smells wonderful so he does a lot of it. To people it stinks to high heaven and so does the urine he puts in the litterbox. He also may become territorial and aggressive with other cats in the house, he wants all the girls for himself, just in case one should show up for him AND if their are females in the area, they may suddenly camp out on your doorstep in hopes that he comes out. If the Vet wants to neuter him now, go ahead and do it. My Vet does it at 6 months or 6 pounds whichever comes first. Good luck with your decision.
