Altered Male Cats (Neutered):
- No longer able to reproduce.
- Reduced aggression due to lower testosterone.
- Less likely to roam in search of a mate.
- Tend to live longer and face fewer health risks such as testicular cancer.
Unaltered Female Cats (Intact):
- Can reproduce, leading to unwanted litters.
- May go into heat every three weeks, exhibiting yowling, rubbing, and spraying.
- More likely to develop ovarian cancer and uterine infections.
Overall, it is generally recommended to alter both male and female cats to avoid potential problems associated with unaltered cats.
