How to stop my recently neutered cat from peeing outside the box?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 year old

My cat is recently neutered, how can I make sure that his inappropriate urination completely stops? Medical issues were ruled out when I first noticed this behaviour before neutering him.
