Default Note to Self: Cats Neutered Really Early still spray

Louis is a 2yr old Bengal. His breeders, in a fashion which is
becoming more acceptable AFAIK, neutered him at an early age (six
weeks? can't recall exactly).

We've had the stray Henry in our house, in a holding pattern while
trying to figure out how to integrate him into the household, for
about four months.

Out of the blue, Louis has started spraying our front closet door.

It's marking behavior since the spray hits the door, and isn't a
puddle on the floor.

Maybe it's his wild ancestry. Maybe it's a latent provocation from
Henry (who as far as we can tell has not sprayed inside our house).
But the idea that cats neutered after they've matured will more likely
spray seems to be false.

---Henry rant----
My god Henry's cute. Sure, he can't clean his butt properly because
he's become so fat, but he is the most affectionate and sweet cat I've
ever bumped into. His face is Garfield's "Nerml" face.

At least until he sees one of the other cats. *sigh*
