When cats spray, they are spraying urine. They aim it at a vertical surface for the purpose of marking. A diluted vinegar solution will usually neutralize the scent (although it will leave a vinegar smell instead). You can also buy enzyme type cleaners that remove the smell.

Can a sterile male cat still spray?

Yes, a neutered male can can indeed still spray, but as his hormones calm down he will be less likely inclined to spray as he will no longer be trying to attract females or enforcing his territory. It takes about six weeks for any residue hormones to completely filter out of the body. If the cat sprayed before he was neutered, you may have to train him out of it, even after the procedure, either because its a habit for him or he can still smell his urine. Although it is not common for a cat to carry on spraying, it can happen. Be sure to thoroughly clean any areas he used to spray to kill off any enzymes (this will attract him to the same spot again and again).
