It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

Theodore is also "fixed" but obviously in denial. he sprays everything inside and out...but I think he's doing it for the family/pack, as none of us can and there are plenty of other pesky cats around who don't get the rules (i.e. the dominant cat in the area...that is my cat, is the sprayer of the territory). he only started doing it after I moved back in so I think there's a psychological component. at least he is kind enough to retract his claws when we are play fighting. my old cat went for blood. I have diminished sensation on most of my finger tips due to his habit of ripping them open just for the fun of it. He also once pearced my ear lobe, and ripped through my tongue. I miss the little bugger despite the violence factor.
regarding the "crazy people" seeing a different dimension, I know quite a few Autistic kids i've worked with over the years have led me to believe they can see it too. I know sometimes I get inklings of things from "beyond" little shadows and images here and there and sometimes faint outlines of figures ( i don't know if they are humanoid).

Animals sense a lot of things we aren't aware of. Anyone who's ever seen a cat freak out before a storm or hiss at a complete stranger whom you know to be evil but they haven't met can tell you that. Cats are amazing animals and have taught me alot over the years.
That being said, I did have a cat one time who wasn't quite right. He was fixed, but not as far as he was concerned. His name was Rasputin, and he used to drag a stuffed teddy bear into the middle of my living room and hump it like there was no tomorrow. I'm talking, went to town. Like, porn-style. He'd look you right in the eye while he did it. And he'd only do it when I had people over...WTF! Nobody ever knows quite what to say when something like that happens...
Day late an'a dollar short...Story of my ruttin' life!

Im pretty sure thats a dominance thing, i don't know, i'm sure a cat psychologist could tell you exactly what it means, but normally when animals hump things its a dominance thing (my sisters female dog used to do it!) and when they do it so pointedly in front of you it must be a message of some sort.
I had a friend who couldn't secure her knicker draw enough to stop her westie geting in and handing her g-strings to visitors and business guests of her fathers. So dogs are just as bad.
There's a book called Only Forward ( I think thats the one) where the continents have become big mega cities divided up into zones based on like minded people - a zone where complete silence is enforced by law, a zone for colour lovers where the walls and pavements match themselves to your outfit or the zone for super efficient beurocratic types, but there is a cat zone - a zone lived in entirely by cats, and humans are allowed to enter and visit the cats but none of them live there, and the streets are spotless and the gardens well maintained.
I read that and thought - yep, entirely plausible.
I've not been without a cat for longer than a few months, one has turned up at some point. I decided that somewhere in the Cat Network the decision was made that either i deserved the constant companionship or, i needed to be watched at all times. I think its the latter.
The book is by Michael Marshall Smith but be warned, its not for the faint hearted, it gets very grim at points.
As for fairies and what not - theres a Scottish legend of house brownies - maybe thats it?
And how do we know the fairies didn't start it in the first place?
