My neutered male cat is spraying and peeing a lot. Is he sick?

Question

Is my cat sick? My cat is a male Korat (his breed) and he's neutered but recently he started spraying again and has been using the litter box more than usual. I think he may be sick or something please get back to me as soon as possible. Pet's info: Cat | Korat | Male | neutered

I'm sorry that Mini is having these issues! These signs can indicate a serious issue in a cat like a urinary blockage, cystitis, or bladder stones. A urinary blockage is a life threatening condition in male cats because it will cause severe blood work abnormalities and can even result in the bladder rupturing. Because of this possibility I'd recommend having Mini examined by a veterinarian right away. If he is blocked he will likely need emergency treatment like a urinary catheter and fluids. If Mini has bladder inflammation (cystitis) he will likely also need treatment to resolve the pain associated with this condition. Cystitis can lead to a urinary blockage, so again, it's important to have Mini seen by a veterinarian right away. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope Mini's issue resolves quickly!
