Hi there!
I am the mommy of a 6 month old Blue Point Siamese.
I just called for an appointment to get him neutered but I feel lousy.

My brain tells me this is the right thing to do from every angle including making him (the furry menace) easier to handle but my heart (and my hubby's) is heavy.
I can't stand the thought of my Beau going through this ordeal and then I get all these "human" thoughts of morality and who am I to play God etc.

I know it sounds silly and I KNOW that we won't be able to handle him or ever getting him to mate (and what will we do with the kittens? There are SO many strays already) but as I said my heart is definitely an unreasonable being.

Any support, thoughts, advice is welcome!!
Thank you!
Tina

You are doing the right thing by getting your cat neutered. It will keep him healthy and alive longer. If he was not fixed he would try to get outside. More then likely he would. There he could catch many cat dieases. Also, cats that aren't neutered have a tendence to spray more then neutered cats. Last there are away to many cats out there right now with out homes.
Here is a link that might make you feel more at ease for neutering.

When you start thinking in human terms, it can be hard to neuter an animal. However, you have to realize that the cat really doesn't know he's been neutered. Sexual activity to a cat is not at all like human experience. Toms frankly don't care about the kittens they've fathered and in fact will try to kill them! Reproduction is only an instinct to them and mating provides a very fleeting pleasure.
