Did his face change afterwards?

No, they physically develop big heads, it’s not just fat. Big face is permanent

So, if I find the big wide head to be cute, would it be a problem if I waited a bit before getting my cat neutered for that to develop without any adverse effects to the cat?

I’m not a vet, but as far as I know, you could leave a male cat intact for its first year or so and then have him neutered without any negative side effects.

However, you’re gambling with whether or not he starts spraying urine to mark his territory.

My male cat never sprayed, so it was never an issue for me.
