not entirely true, I have a female (spayed) cat that occasionally
sprays[1], and the two 'boys' who just got their voice ranges changed
still do it (but its only been a couple days, holding my breath for
changes... no pun intended), though I've been given to understand that
the earlier you get them neutered, the less chance of it being a habit.

If you distract them in the act, they don't and are less likely to continue.

Buster's problem cats may be trying to get his attention about something.

me *weeks* to figure out why the smear on the screen wouldn't stay cleaned.
