Don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree that we need to neuter cats and dogs. I just personally cannot bring myself to make this decision for an individual cat that I have to decide for. If I was getting a pet I would absolutely neuter it, but I prefer to just not get a pet to not have my mind wander down that road of "damn, did I just assume what my pet would want and put my values on them or did I do something responsible by interfering with their body". Same for most decisions.

I get it man. Having to act in the best interest of someone who can't communicate can be stressful. That's why I'd never want to take care of a baby or adopt an animal. I would like to volunteer at a shelter, however.
