When a stud cat retires, he is usually neutered. Do you know what changes to expect? How long will he remain fertile? Will he stop spraying? Learn the answers to these questions and much more.
Let's not be too indelicate, but there is a distinctive difference between the working "equipment" of a stud cat and a neutered kitty that goes beyond whether or not a boy has pom-poms.
