Unfortunately, neutering will not turn off inappropriate urination like a switch. It is just one step in preventing it. If it is a learned behavior, he will need to be trained out of it. Provide an extra litterbox in the house and use a litterbox attractant to get him back in the box. Consider a pheromone product, such as Feliway Spray or plug in diffusers, to decrease any anxiety. An enzymatic cleaner, such as Nature's Miracle, should be used to thoroughly clean soiled areas. An exam with your veterinarian should be scheduled to rule out any underlying medical causes. Additional medications may be prescribed if indicated. Be patient and be consistent. https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/inappropriate-urination/
