Not necessarily. It depends on:
1. How long he has been spraying (the longer he's been doing it, the less chance it will stop)
2. Why he is spraying (are there other cats outside he feels threatened by)
3. Is he actually spraying or inappropriately urinating (backing up to spray vs squatting to pee)
Many cats will stop spraying within 60 days of being neutered as long as it was his hormones causing him to spray.
I recommend having him neutered ASAP, if it continues see your vet about a urinalysis to rule out a urinary tract problem, if it still continues it is behavioral and some cats can benefit from medication.

Last year my beautiful Manx cat Theodore went out for the evening and never came back. I love cats and the house didn't feel the same without one, so I picked up Lola from a rescue centre. She was very frightened and would pee all over the house. I found Cat Spraying No More� on the internet and the techniques worked almost immediately. I haven't had a problem with Lola since. Amazing!
Can't stop your cat peeing in the house? Then worry no more...

Nope. I got my male cat neutered at a very young age and he still occassionally sprays when he gets into the catnip or when a stray cat comes near the house.
It will minimize the chances of spraying dramatically, but not completely. Neutering is good though, because he will not go searching for a hole in which to plant his seed.

Yes, unless he is stressed. Please neuter your male cat. Roaming is yet another behavior that is eliminated through neutering male cats and male dogs even. Things such as a death in the family, the arrival of a new baby, moving to a new house, and other changes however can make even a female cat spray to express her stress. Cats are creatures of habit and don't like change. When there's a change cats may spray, go potty outside the litter box, and do other things we humans call 'bad behavior'. Please get your tom cat fixed. He will be healthier and happier if you do it.

You would think so, considering what getting them fixed does, but it doesn't work that way. Sometimes its a habitual thing. Like my friends cat sprayed all the time, then when her boyfriend stopped coming arund(they broke up), the cat stopped spraying. Then she got him fixed and he did it again for awhile, but stopped once she brought in another cat... Weird...

It depends on his age. If he is older the chances are very slim. But if he is still a young little cat then yeah your chances of him to stop spraying are good.
Good luck with your cat!

It decreases the chances of it spraying by about 90%. It will prevent him from roaming and give him an overall better quality of life.

I have herd that you should get them fix before they start spaying or they might never stop.
