Males will start to become territorial and seek mates from about 6 months onward. Nine months seems to be the number most usually stated for this activity and if the cat is not neutered by then he will be spraying his territory to warn off other contenders.
Spaying of your pet cat should be done at or before 6 months old.

At a year old
Answer:
Actually, most kittens become sexually mature at around six months old. Typically females reach sexual maturity a little later than males, but both sexes can mature from as early as four months old.
An intact kitten that is sexually mature will spray to try and attract a mate and to tell others that the area is "theirs". This goes for both males AND females in heat.
It is best to spay or neuter a kitten before it reaches six months old. Many vets will spay and neuter kittens much earlier than this.

Why do neutered male cats spray?
Male cats spray as they are more territorial than uneutured male cats. Also I think it may have something to do with attracting a mate. However, some neutered males will still spray if neutered later in life, mainly because it is now "habit". You might need to teach the cat that spraying is not acceptable.
