A cat spraying is an instinct that male cats have to mark their territory. Whatever they're spraying on, it means "this is mine". There are some deterrents available at your local pet store to prevent this. Spraying is a part of communication among cats, helping to define boundaries and tell other cats whose area is whose. It is also a way of attracting a mate.

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.
