To get his cat neutered?

Hi all, I’ve namechanged as there are some aspects of this post that could be outing!

DP and I have moved in with his DGF while we save for a deposit. The living arrangement is working well but DGF is quite a stubborn (albeit lovely) man and can often not be reasoned with if he doesn’t want to do something. He doesn’t have dementia or anything like that, but what he does have is a 4yo tom cat who has never been to a vet, meaning he’s never had any jabs and hasn’t been neutered. He’s mostly cuddly but can be very aggressive. He bites, sprays over everything and he just STINKS!

WIBU to take the cat to the vet to be jabbed and neutered? I would happily pay for this to be done if it meant a quiet life with a cat that doesn’t scratch, bite or stink. Is neutering as effective in calming the cat down when they’re out of the kitten phase?

TIA!

@snippysnip my vets did that.
Barely gave me a chance to say no (not that I would have done because only proper cat breeders should unneutered animals)

He was taking her out of the room as she was going to have a leg operation (I ran her over 😔) and said, "Oh and we'll spay her while we have her under, yeah?"
I thanked him for reminding me and said yes go ahead!

DP’s Mum also lives here, had a chat with her earlier and she’s fully on board with getting DCat fixed 👍🏼

Hi all, it’s Halloween so it’s quite fitting that I’m resurrecting this old zombie...

Happy to report that DCat had his balls snipped this morning.

Not looking forward to picking an arsey, confused mog up from the vets in an hour Blush

Hopefully you will enjoy a few hours of him being drugged up and a completely soppy cat!

Ahhh I hope so! The vet nurse rang me to say he was ready and she told me he’s been fussed by all the staff today Grin

He’s irresistibly handsome - will snap a pic when I get him back! He’s all black so he fits the spoooooky season
