You are an idiot. No man will take out his balls for you. They can tie their tubes but thats about it.

do they have this for guys?i dont want to have any children when i get married.

Who doesn't want them....us, people? Why hasn't anyone decided to put them back where they came from then. It would be just like some aliens coming down, abducting humans, letting them multiply on their plant and then saying "oh we have too many. Lets keep them from having any more children" instead of taking the unwanted humans back to earth. Why don't we stop throwing money at stuff like this and just put the poor animals back where God placed them! The Wild! Don't spay and neuter!

Spaying and Neutering, I don't know its the same with declawing a cat, its ammputation. Can't they perform a visectemy on the pet instead. If you can't handle the responsibility of having a pet, then maybe you shouldn't have one.

My neutered male cat rocks! I got it at a Humane Society Shelter. Back then he was 11/2 years old and being old and a black cat he had slim chances for adoption. He is an indoors/outdoors cat has great behaviour. He loves to play. My friends even bring their cats to play with mine!!! He's a happy, playful, neutered cat and he's quite a mice and rat hunter!! However where I live too many cats mean a decreased lizard, frog and bird population that control mosquitoes.

you seem like you really love your cat, and i respect that because i myself love my cat too :)

No, I heard about that on several internet forums and I think there are mostly people who are biased, some of them wanting to sell stuff like supplements for BARFing and therefore condemn everything else but BARF, some of them obviously are breeders who want to tell us there are much to much cats in the world and therefore advocate neutering, because the less cats available the higher the price they can achieve. Be careful and doublecheck who says what and why. Better listen to your cats! :-)
