How do you stop a cat from spraying?

We have a male tomcat,and lately he's beenmarking on everything ,what is a cheep effective way to stop this behavior.I'd like to do it without having him fixed .
Answers:
He has to be fixed, no two ways about it, and do it soon or he will keep spraying even AFTER he's fixed because it will be a habit. Please get this done, or there will be litters of kittens at the SPCA that were sired by your cat.
having him neutered is the only way he will stop. sorry
You can't. he will probably continue to do it after he is fixed, if you would have done it early he may never have started.. my male never sprays..
get a squirt bottle and sqirt him when u see him doing that
Once a cat learns to spray, he will spray forever. Sorry!
wash it using head and shoulders shampoo
have him fixed. get the vet to give him a shot of hormones.

Yeah, gotta agree, this is why you get them fixed, and get them fixed young. Pet overpopulation is obviously an issue as well. And, fixed toms don't fight nearly as much.
Try Feliway

The only way to stop a tom cat form spraying is to take his balls out.
we have the same problem w/ our cat. try getting a kitty litter box for him w/ some kittey litter and see wat he does.
I know the prospect of fixing the cat may seem expensive.. but its really not that bad. You can choose between a house full of cat urine. or spending $70 to have him fixed. Its definitely worth it!
The only way to do this is get him fixed. What is your reasoning for not wanting to have this done?? It is not expensive. There are alot of unwanted animals in this world and thousands that get euthanized every day at shelters becuase there arnt enough homes. Please dont contribute to this by not neutering your cat.
As everybody else has told you you have to get him fixed and it might be to late. We had the same problem with a cat we found and we had him fixed and it kept spraying in the house. I hated to do this but it had to go outside. Cat urine is very hard to get the smell out and my house was smelling so bad it was nasty and it almost gagged you when you walked in the door.
The only way I know is to get it neutered.
