They don't ! Defending territory is left to the males. The more a male defends his territory - the more likely he will be to sire kittens.

Neutering male cats Every unfixed female will pop out kittens One unfixed male can service a huge area Strictly from a population control view does neutering a male do much?

Strictly from a population standpoint it still makes a difference. Most cats maintain a territory, they can overlap but they will defend the area they live in. If a male is defending a territory and is unfixed he will try to impregnate every available female. If he is fixed he will still run off other males but be unable to mate.
