I agree that neutering will have no effect on fence jumping. Perhaps he won't be jumping the fence to find female, but for other reasons.

Maiya is a fence jumper just for the heck of it. I have to always go out with her to "babysit".

Yes it *can* cause them to gain weight, but caloric adjustments will handle that.

Yikes! Easy there!

I think that's exactly the point trying to be made. HE WILL BE ABLE TO. Neutered or not he can and MIGHT jump the fence to roam. He may not be roaming for a female, but just because HE CAN. You don't need testicles to run amuck and sniff the neighborhood. Seeing that you live on a busy highway, I would be far more concerned about that then.......say.......*cough*..."his balls".

Yes, I agree that the issue of fence jumping should be a whole other thread, but you brought it up.
