Feliway Comfort

My male cat was just neutered and I caught him spraying.?
I’m going to try to get him to stop but I have never used these products before. One website suggests first using Lysol to clean the remnants of the spray then use Feliway Feline Behavior Modification Spray to keep the cat from spraying there again and also a Comfort Zone Diffuser. Has anyone had any luck with these or can you suggest something else. He just got fixed last week and I know it may take awhile before he finally breaks the habit but I would hate for him to just keep doing it if I don’t do anything about it.
Usually when neutered cats spray there is something amiss. There is something in the house that is causing him stress or he may be sick.
The above suggestions with Lysol and Feliway are good ones. First things first, take him to the vet. Urinary tract infections are a prime candidate for spraying. When cats have pain going to the bathrrom they start associating that pain with the litter box, so they go someplace else.
Should he be healthy, look for factors in the house that may cause him stress. Is everyone in the house treating him well? Are there other animals that he does not get along with? Are there loud noises that occur regularly that scare him? Is there a cat outside that is marking territory around your house? Is he alone for large portions of the day? Any of these factors (and others I haven’t thought of) may cause a cat to act out.
Finally, try moving an empty cat box to the place where he is marking. He may choose to go in that instead of on the wall. It’s worked for me in certain situations. Then you just rinse the box out.
Good luck!
Oh, and do not put your cat outside as others on this answer have suggested! Indoor cats, on average, live 10-12 year longer than outdoor cats. Putting your cat outdoors exposes them to traffic, strangers, predators, harmful insects, and the elements. Putting the cat out should absolutely be your last resort.
