If Tango is not neutered, this needs to be done. Males who are not neutered spray to mark territory and neutering them tends to stop the behavior. Some neutered males do still spray and this can be related to infections in the bladder or stress. Veterinarians will examine the urine of these cats to look for infection and provide correct treatment. There is treatment available for infections and stress but you have to determine which one is the cause. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
