I have a male cat that was desexed after it was a year old and had already starting to wander.

It still goes away for days on end and I would like to know is there something else I can do.

It stays inside of a night then let out in the morning and then doen't come back.?

There really isn't a lot you can do. Some will wander even after they are fixed at an early age, and with others if they aren't fixed before they start then it's too late. For some, getting them fixed won't stop the praying or fighting - especially in males. They have deeloped the habit and you just have to try to train them out of it. Which is a slow and often futile process...

I always figured all male cats did that whether they have been fixed or not. It is just a natural thing for them to do. Just because it has been fixed does not stop it from being a male cat.

A sure cure for wandering is to keep your cats indoors. Cats are better off indoors and typically live longer that way too.

If you get a male cat desexed when he is 1 and a half will it stop him spraying, or does the smell become less potent?

Do male cats stop wandering even if you get them desexed at an older age, also will it stop them fighting with other cats?
