Yes,
I have 2 male cats, one was neutered when he was 6 months old, my other cat who is 5, was just neutered about 2 months ago, because I couldn't catch him to get him in carrier to go to vet's.
He sprayed everywhere inside CONSTANTLY, I had to clean using odor neutralizer and vinegar all the time.
There were stray female cats outside.
After I got him fixed, he never once sprayed in the house again.
Do it asap, you'll be happier and your cat will be a lot more affectionate.

It is possible for the spraying to stop if you have hime neutered but it depends on his age. Spraying is an instinct caused by the testosterone but once it becomes a habit your cat may continue to do it without the testosterone. Also it may be a urinary tract infection. The pain of an infection can cause a cat to go many diffrent places to try to find "the least painful spot" the best thing to do is take him to your vet, get him neutered and if the spraying continues there is a product called felaway that plugs in to the outlet and keeps pats from marking in that room.

Is he going to the restroom or spraying? Male cats tend to spray things, such as the wall, in a home. After getting him fixed, he should stop this. Spraying can cause a rather bad odor, and it can look as though the cat has used the restroom. He's actually marking his territory. But when you get him fixed this should stop shortly after.

if he's lifting his tail and backing up and what looks like peeing on something, he's in all reality spraying or marking his territory. If he's squatting and peeing, then he's just peeing. Neutering him will help with the spraying, but it will take some time after the surgery as he will still have some testosterone that will need to dissipate. If he's constantly just peeing he may have a urinary tract infection. Either way, sounds like a visit to the vet is in order.

Yes, if you neuter your cat he'll eventually stop. Male cats spray everywheres because they are marking their territory. If you get him fixed, it'll be well worth the cost.

Male cats have to mark their territory. Getting them neutered can help with this, but not always. If they feel the need to mark, they will still mark.

Yes he will!my cat use to do that and theres no way to escape geting him fixed.I was so scred because I didn't want him to feel pain but there better off that way.and they give them medicine to help for pain and to numb it.don't be scared when u get your cat fixed the first day it'll be hard for him to walk cause of the medicine and may look drowsy,but he'll be ok.Good luck

Yes, he is being territorial, getting him fixed should stop him from peeing everywhere & the kitty population growth!
