    It reduces suffering of potential unwanted offspring and the suffering of local bird populations so I would argue that it’s unethical to not spay or neuter your cat, even if the individual cat suffers a bit from it.

    I think there is an interesting argument on whether it’s ethical to keep pets at all however

      I’ll consider that argument once we have a healthier society. Until then, I need my cat to make it, and my cat seems pretty damn fond of me.
