Cat spray has a strong ammonia odor, which is more intense than urine. Scent-marking is common in animals, with the scent cues remaining in the environment for a relatively long time, even in the absence of the animal, making it very valuable compared to visual or auditory cues.
What Does Male Cat Spray Smell Like?
Hormones cause all male cats to spray, and their spray is the strongest. Male cat spray has a stronger scent of cat urine, which is often likened to ammonia.
The reason cat spray smells so strong is that it’s designed to attract attention. In addition to adding a few scent notes that hint at the possibility that you are smelling something else, they are loaded with additional chemicals that make the scents stronger and last longer than ordinary urine.

Why Do Cats Spray?
Spraying is a normal part of a cat’s life. Although males do it more frequently, female kittens can also spray. Felines use it as a means of communication to indicate anything from their availability for sexual activity to their territorial limits.
Among cat owners, dealing with cat spraying is a common experience. On Reddit, a lot of people have gathered to seek advice from other cat parents on how to stop their cats from spraying and how to get rid of the spray smell.
My suspicion is that they don’t really get along all that well and that all you’re getting is protest splattering from each of them. (You might believe they are close friends, but that isn’t always the case.) (I have never encountered a Siamese cat that wasn’t overjoyed to be the only one around.) )) Is he confined for any particular reason?.
Oh, they arent siblings by the way. Boy cat came +/- 3 months after girl cat. Before he arrived, we were starting to feel depressed. Within a day, things had completely turned around. When they were either 12 or 16 weeks old—I can’t remember which the breed organization recommended—both of them left their moms.
Theyre both quite grounded. My observation is that those who seem grounded are actually just more discreet about their neuroses. I would get a black light and try to find anything. Could you perhaps first see if there’s a protest near her tray or trays?
Thanks again! Ive spoken to the national breed association and boy cats breeder each year too… Apart from the spraying they are a genuinely delight 
I wanted rescue moggies. I wish Id pushed harder for that. Ho Hum.
Hes confined for pissing all over the place at the first hint of spring 
I do think they like each other. If one is off at the vets, or just stays out slightly longer than usual in the evening the other appears to become uneasy. Searching about hte place, shouting (natch), looking up at any small sound – that sort or thing – until the other is back. Then, they nest down together, clean one another and go to sleep. Id be hard pressed to say which seems most distressed at the absence of the other. What would be signs of secretly hating each other?
