My cat sprays after injury & new cats. Why are other cats spraying?

Question

My Pumpkin is part Bombay, he is twice the size of a Bombay but looks, to a T, just like one. He's over a year old, this past summer he was hit twice by cars. Seemed to only have a few scratches from the accidents. At the time, we had 6 cats and 2 shi tzus. My daughter had brought 2 kittens home beginning of the fall. Around the same time as the second hit. He now sprays, heavily, throughout the house. And now 4 of the other cats are doing it as well. One is a def kitten. Any advice? Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Male | neutered | 18 lbs

It is possible that Pumpkin could have injured his internal organs during the accidents that is preventing him from holding his bladder. It is also possible that Pumpkin could have a bladder infection. Both of these conditions could be diagnosed by your veterinarian. The food you are feeding pumpkin (and the other cats) could also be playing a role in this behavior.
