When cats mark their territory with small amounts of urine, it is called spraying or urine marking. This is not a house-training problem but a marking of territory. Here are a few reasons that cause cats spraying:
> marking their territory
> letting other cats know that are sexually available
> stressful situations
> change of location
Although sometimes neutering works in these situations, it isn’t always effective. There is a small percentage of cats that won’t stop marking even after they have been neutered. If a male cat is neutered, the urine odor is removed and he will be less likely to mark.
