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.

I believe it refers to a pheremone that is excreted from the back end of an animal. Possibly Gastro-Intestinal spray? I think that cats and many wild mammals are capable of something like this where they spray a smelly fluid to mark territory.
