How does a cat change after being neutered?
I have a two-year-old male cat that I had neutered two weeks ago. Since that time he has been eating and drinking fine.

Believe me the neuter is worth that very minimal risk. An intact male does not make a good indoor companion, I would say that they couldn’t be lived with indoors after they reach full maturity. The only other complications would be infection and large bruising that takes time to resolve.
