A male kitten typically does not start spraying, it sprays at all, until 6 months of age. A kitten neutered before it starts to spray is less likely to do so.
Female cats do not usually pee with their tails up like male cats do. Female cats squat low to the ground when they urinate, while male cats typically lift their tails and spray to mark their territory.
Female cats do not typically spray to mark their territory like male cats. Instead, female cats may engage in behaviors such as rubbing their scent glands on objects or scratching to mark their territory. They also use verbal communication, such as purring or meowing, to establish their presence in their territory.
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.
A female cat, just like a male cat, can and will spray when on heat, or feel their territory is being threatened. They spray very strong-smelling urine to communicate with other cats in the area.
Male cats do not go into heat Whole male cats are always ready, able, and willing to breed any females in heat whenever they can. As to male cats spraying, they may be more actively spraying when seasoning females are close by, but they often spray just to mark territory.
I thought only male cats spray... never heard of a female cat do it! in fact they don't. I think your dreaming!
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.
Spray them with water.

It is smally possible if the male cat senses that your cat (if you have one.) has sprayed the area, marking his or her terroriory, then he will back off. But if you have no cat, or just a dog(s), then he will spray the area, letting other cats know, that he had been there and had claimed it as his.
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.
Not necessarily, but male cats will tend to spray their urine to mark their scents.
No, male cats spray urine to mark territory.
Male cats spray to mark territory, the cat has just claimed your son as his property and is telling other male cats to stay away. In other words the cat just posted a "private property no trespassing" sign in cat language.
