We have never had a male cat...always been female. But, I do know when male cats get into my garage.....HOLY LODI! You find evidence EVERYWHERE!
Sassy was neutered so it wasn’t so bad..Those are the only marking episodes I recall..They “mark” their territory! Unneutered ones are awful!
I have 3 fixed females now and they don’t do that..thankfully.
My daughter has one neutered male who marks a lot! Has him on trnquilizers.
