Wow.... your cat is not neutered - no wonder you don't keep him in at night.......he would spray all over your house. Be a responsible cat owner and get your cat neutered. Here's some other reasons why he should be neutered: - Reduced fighting and associated injuries Reduction of ?Tom cat odour? Decreased spraying Prevents roaming, as they will generally not sense female pheromones Prevents unwanted litters Not to mention the spread of FIV and also the CAT KILLER is out there!!!
