A female with her tubes tied still goes into heat and enjoys sex (Norton would like that), but doesn't get pregnant (we'd like that).

It's a mistake to anthropomorphise too much. Ever been around a female cat in heat? Tying her tubes just prevents her from getting pregnant. It doesn't prevent all the other symptoms, like spraying. I suspect you'll rapidly come to regret the notion. Preventing pregnancy is only one reason to spay pets of both sexes.

Could be; that's the common wisdom, but I wonder what dogs think about it? Personally, I think they're just trying to get their rocks off, and they're not too picky about how they do it.

Male dogs in the mood will hump anything that will hold still. There was a lovely cartoon years back of a male dog mounting a female, while fantasizing about a man's pant leg.
Mary Tyler Moore raises dogs, and told a joke that was popular in dog lovers circles. A woman calls the vet to make an appointment for her big handsome male dog. "What's the problem?" asks the vet. "He's always trying to hump me!" "No, problem", the vet replies. "Bring him in, we'll castrate him, and in a couple of weeks, he'll settle right down and stop doing that sort of thing." "Oh, you don't have to do
that!, the woman says. "I was just hoping you could trim his nails and fix his breath!"
