What to expect when neutering my cat? Will it stop him from spraying?

Question

I’m getting my 7 month old cat neutered on Tuesday and I’m not sure what to expect. I also want to know if him getting neutered will stop him from spraying? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | 7 months and 19 days old | 2 lbs

Hi and thanks for your request. Neutering will certainly stop this behaviour. Usually this routine procedure in male cats is quite fast and recovery is very quick. In the first few days buster collar and rest will be needed. Usually neutered cats have a tendency to put on weight so I would certainly recommend not to increase calories and try to keep him exercised (not needed if he goes outside).
