Neutering primarily affects reproductive behaviors, but it doesn't eliminate the reasons a cat might vocalize, such as hunger, stress, seeking attention, or even health issues. If your cat cries excessively, it's important to pay attention to the context and any other symptoms to address potential needs or health concerns.
