Does Neutering Male Cats Stop Them From Urine Spraying Inside the House?

When my male cat reached maturity, he frequently went out. He was an outdoor cat. Then one time, he came home with several scratches and bruises. He was beaten by another male cat (probably).

Before neutering

From then on, he formed the habit of spraying urine into the corners of our rooms, doors and even to our dish organizer. Perhaps it was his only way to secure a safe territory for him, so he made our house his spraying base.

Though he did not exhibit this behavior before, we noticed the change when he was overpowered by male cats that were more alpha than him.

So, we decided to neuter our cat, and it did stop the urine spraying behavior. Aside from that, he got healthier.

After neutering

However, our cat's urine spraying behavior came back again when my other male cat escaped from his cage and attacked my neutered cat.

Perhaps the spraying behavior will resurface if your cat feels scared and unsafe even if they are neutered. So, the best course of action is not to make your cat exposed to possible danger. If you have other un-neutered cats at home, don't let them get close to your neutered cats.
