Should I neuter stray male cats I feed to prevent tomcat fights?

Neutering will help him from running off and fighting. It will unlikely stop him from fighting to protect where he lives and his food. He should be tested for feline leukemia and aids though as this can be a fatal disease and he may continue to spread it if he keeps fighting. The other cat likely will need to be caught, neutered and released to minimize the behaviour

Intact male cats can and do fight over things such as territory and females, so to answer your question, yes they can hurt each other if they get into a fight. Intact cats will also spray urine all over the house to mark their territory, which smells terrible and is very hard to get out. I would recommend having them both neutered to reduce any aggressive behavior as well as urine marking, which it sounds like you are seeing if they are fighting enough to cause a cut. Gently wash the cut with warm water and antiseptic soap. Keep the area clean and dry, and monitor for signs of infection which include redness, swelling, warmth to the touch, and pus. Should you see any of those signs, the cat will need to see the vet for antibiotics. In the meantime, I'd make an appointment to have them both neutered. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Vanilla has been having issues with another cat. While neutering may help improve the problem, it may not resolve it completely, especially if the other cat is neutered. As you mentioned, ideally Vanilla would be an indoor only cat to ensure that he doesn't get into any fights, and his desire to roam may lessen with neutering as well. I would recommend he be neutered, and you try your best to keep him inside as much as you can to eliminate the possibility of a fight. Good luck!

I think that is a lovely idea! How great of you to want to look after him. Have blood tests and a urinalysis done at the vet first before neutering and introducing him to your cats to make sure he is healthy. Best of luck.

How lovely of you to bring him Cactus! Even though he's not showing behavioral signs now, it doesn't mean that he won't start spraying to mark his territory and want to go outside to roam. Also intact male cats tend to be poor groomers, causing them to become matted and scruffy-looking. On the other hand, neutered male cats tend to pay more attention to themselves and keep themselves clean. I think having him neutered would be a good idea. Best of luck.

I would recommend getting them neutered as soon as possible. As they have gotten older they are becoming more aggressive and controlling of there territory. I would recommend neuter, increase number litter boxes, increase food and water dishes to start. Hopefully once all the added hormones are gone they will settle down

It would be best to just keep the strays and your pets separated from each other, especially as strays may not be vaccinated and may spread illness, parasites or other illness to or from your own pets. Trying to catch the stray cats so they can be spayed, neutered and vaccinated is a good idea as well, or contacting a local shelter to try and help you.
