Neutering and Behavior

Question - I was wondering about the affection of
a cat. Mine is an inside only cat, he's a male, and he's 9
months old. Lately he's very affectionate and when he sleeps with me
he seems to like to be touching me. Normally he lays against my
legs. In 2 days he is getting neutered and I want to know will he
change his behavior and what can I do to keep his affection strong
always.

Hi Adam!
I am not a vet but i am a rescuer and cat-lover so
I will answer out of my experience.
Cats are very loving and lovable critters, being
neutered or not. They recognize and love their human
that raised them. Usually when they are neutered
they become even more loving animals. You must
only keep your behavior toward it cuddling and
petting.
Your cat will show always its affection actually
much more because it will not have any more outside
attraction for other cat after being neutered.
Thanks for asking NEWTON!
