Thank you for your question about Tyga. If this is a male cat getting neutered (not sure if that is what you mean, or if in the UK they call both procedures being spayed) then it should not cause him to be any less loving. In most cases it will help calm and settle a male cat who otherwise as he matures would be more likely to want to roam or be aggressive.
