One old guy who is the size of a bobcat has actually managed to show he is capable of going out on his own to the point the wife doesn't freak out when he gets out.

They would come through there and collect up cats then have them spayed or neutered and return them. The poor males would come back and be immediately run off or hurt so bad they died. <br /><br />Anyone who thinks testosterone is not needed is fooling themselves.

As I said neutering cats is a necessary evil however it does effect their rate of survival and causes other health issues. <br /><br />My main objection are those who try and sell the catch, neuter/spay and release proposals for feral cats.

They hunt game, protect their territory against all comers and roam all over our ranch. They are trained to come in at night so the coyotes don't get them. They sleep with us every night, too. The only difference with them is that they are not aggressive or obnoxious as toms.

Estrogen in cats isn't really needed for survival as much as testosterone. The key is how other cats react to them. Toms will continue to visit and treat spayed females the same as always, allowing them to keep their territory inside the males etc. While a neutered cat is basically a PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-41842351693100523512014-07-11T17:30:13.617-04:002014-07-11T17:30:13.617-04:00Rob - I am surprised the 3 toms stay around actual...Rob - I am surprised the 3 toms stay around actually.
