Spraying is a way of marking territory, and virtually all male cats will do it. The best way to stop or prevent it is to get the cat neutered, since this stops the impulse to mark territory and usually stops spraying.

The strong smell of your male cat's pee is likely due to the presence of concentrated hormones and pheromones, which are more prominent in unneutered male cats. These substances can give the urine a potent odor that helps mark territory and attract potential mates. Neutering your cat can help reduce the intensity of the smell.

Whether that is the reason or not, is indefinite.
