He may continue to spray his entire life. Male cats living outdoors who are left to breed freely, will if they have taken females spray their entire life. But, it also takes about 6 months after a neutering for an older cat to stop spraying. If you have intact females in the house, I urge you to spay them for this will help. Plus intact females can get mighty sick at times, whereas females who have been spayed generally live a long healthy life. Check out www.sprayalert.com for a product that will warn you right when he sprays so at least you can get it up quicker. If he continues to spray even after your females are spayed, then perhaps you might find someone who needs a barn cat? Depending on how old he was when he got neutered.

He was outside my apartment for 1 1/2 yrs. I believe that someone dumped him. I caught him and we went to vet to get him nuetered and check up. Now he is with other females [ some are spayed and some are not]. He has been spraying and I cannot get him to stop. Someone suggested Feliway and I tried that but I feel that I need 20 plugs and a gallon of spray to work. Also does he do this because of the unaltered females in the house. Please help. Is there something that really works I really love this cat and I have spent many hrs working with him and he has really turned out to be a good pet except for this. I dont want to live like this anymore. Thank you I have taken in a male feral cat. He was outside my apartment for 1 1/2 yrs. I believe that someone dumped him.
