I believe that they're used to indoors and are more calm. But otherwise, I don't know.

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.
Do you have to neuter male cats?
No, but if you do they will be less vicious and they won't wander as far from home. (I have 4 cats and 2 are male. 1 is neutered and the other isn't. The neutered one doesn't have a care in life but the other one is still a big softy! It depends what your cat is like. Also, un-neutered male cats like to spray to mark their territory!) Hope this was useful to you.
Can a male cat spray after being neutered?
technically they still can. however, after he has been neutered his desire or urge to spray goes way down. Typically neutering will help to stop the spraying. However, a cat that has been neutered before reaching sexual maturity (around six months old), it is very unlikely the cat will ever start spraying.
Do male cats spray that have a queen to breed?
Yes. Spraying is a way of marking territory, and both male and female cats are very territorial. Except when a female is in heat, a male cat considers her no more than another intruder on his hunting grounds, and will spray to mark his turf.
Will a neutered male start to spray if other adult male cats are brought into the house?
If they are agitated by each other, by their surroundings, or are stressed, then they can.
Does not having cats neutered make them go to the bathroom more?
Not necessarily, but male cats will tend to spray their urine to mark their scents.
Can nuetered male cats go into heat and spray?
Male cats do not go int heat, neutered or otherwise; heat is a characteristic of the female oestrus cycle. Even a properly neutered male may still respond to a female in heat, out of habit. If a cat has learned to spray before he was neutered, he very likely will continue after he has been neutered. It likely will be less frequent, but it can still happen.
Should I have my 1 year old cat neutered?
Yes. Male cats that are not neutered will spray and may run off for days looking for mates. It will also cut down on unspayed female cats having kittens.

Can male cats get a cat pregnant after they are nutered?

How do you keep stray cats from urinating on the outside of your house?
Unfortunately, there is mating time and this is usually when cats will spray on everything (also inside the house if you own one and they are not spayed or neutered.) If you go to your pet store they do have a special spray out that you can spray around the perimeter of your home. Other than this, there isn't much else you can do.
Can a spayed female cat still mate?
I have several neutered cats that do not spray. I have added spayed females to them without problems. They all stay indoors and I have several litter boxes. Cats do not normally spray unless the litter boxes are not clean, then they (males cats) will squat and urine on the floor or carpet, instead of spraying, as an unaltered male would do. Outdoor cats behave totally different and do spray, both the males and females. This is based on my experience of 30 years and dozens of in and out cats. Also they should be altered young. Some vets will do it right away and others wait till 6 months. I always waited 6 months. Hope this helps a little. Helen Well, I just saw my neutered male spray the front of my car's tire. We didn't get him until he was about a year old, and from the shelter, which neutered him at that time. He just recently started spraying, at the age of 3 years. Perhaps not cooincidentally, we just added another cat (kitten) to our household. Rob
