Neutering typically reduces a male cat's tendency to mark territory with urine, but some cats may continue or develop this behavior due to other factors. Stress, medical issues like urinary tract infections, or changes in their environment can cause this. Consulting a veterinarian is the best course of action to identify any health issues and to discuss behavior modification techniques. Providing a stress-free environment and additional litter boxes can also help reduce this behavior.
