Neutering can help prevent your cat from trying to escape once he is sexually active, especially if there are females in heat nearby. Neutering can also stop and/or reduce spraying and marking behavior in the house which can help keep your furniture and walls clean. Neutering can also reduce and prevent some times of cancer, such as testicular cancer. Neutering around 6 months of age is usually the most common time to do so barring any underlying health conditions.
