We are hoping the smell goes away a bit
when he is neutered. What could we do to
encourage him to be cleaner?

The fact that your cat is not neutered *is* the reason for the strong
smell. There is nothing worse than the smell of tomcat urine and this is
what you are smelling. Your kitty is old enough to be neutered and you
should do it now. The smell will subside as his hormone levels decrease
after the operation. It usually takes a few weeks.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray
