he was N and declawed at 5 months he is over a yr old now. I would get rid of him b/c the smell of male cat urine everywhere is horrendous and I have a five yr old and he does it in her room too! I would absolutly pick her comfort and ours over the cats.

When a cat is spayed or neutered and they start spraying it may have a urinary tract infection and it can be treated easily with an antibiotic if caught quick enough. Once they are neutered they usually aren't territorial any more and since the other cat has been there since day one you would think that he would have sprayed earlier if it was a hormonal or a territorial act. I have worked with animals for years as a vet tech for the SPCA and I have seen this a lot. Take him to the vet and have them check for a UTI. Good Luck!

My cat started to spray about 3 months after he was neutered. The vet sd that even though you get them neutered that they still can have some hormone (which is that nasty spray scent) left and in some rare cases even still produce it afterwards. My cat did it about 3x's and then that was it. Hopefully it will stop soon and you can go back to loving ur cat and not have to worry about the spray smell!!

I am going through the exact same thing! We have 3 cats, 2 of them have started spraying. Our circumstances haven't changed, everything is the same, but all of the sudden, WHAM! All over the place! We have tried everything, maybe have him checked for kidney/bladder infections. Otherwise I don't know. We have started keeping ours outside, in a fence. And our cats are so spoiled they don't realize they can climb the fence!

I have heard that once a cat starts spraying it's hard to get them out of this habit. In order to try to resolve this, you must catch them in the act - otherwise they don't know what they are doing wrong. Talk to your vet to see if they have suggestions.

He may just be peeing in the house. Try changing the litter box a little more, some cats detest their own smell.

when did you declawed him? how long ago?
how old was he when he was spayed?
any way get in contact with an animal beaver specialist quickly he will advice you what to do, do it word for word or it won't work.
and one more thing:
how can you even think of giving him away, if you had human child would you have cut off his fingers cause his beating his brother?
would you have given him away?
giving your cat away won't solve his problem it will only increase and will raise his chanced of being given away by his new home.
