Can sterilizing a male cat stop him from wandering. Also if I get a female cat will that stop him from wandering?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tina. Yes, neutering a male cat will decrease his desire to roam. Having a female at home will not necessarily help to keep him home. Neutering will be more effective. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Snowy. Neutering a male cat will decrease his desire to roam in search of a female cat. It may not take the desire away entirely, but it will help. I hope this information helps!
