	If an unneuterd male starts spraying, you generally have one of two
choices:  Have the cat become entirely an outdoor cat,
	  Neuter the cat, because once they start spraying THEY DON'T STOP.

I had that problem when I first got one of my cats.  All they need is one
whiff of a female and that's the end of the story.  If they are not
neutered quickly after they start spraying, they will continue to spray the
rest of their lives, even if they are neutered.  And will generally NOT use
the mess box.  You can draw your own conclusions as to what you care about
more. (ie your carpet, nose, sanity, etc.)

As to the smell of the messbox:  Try adding lots of baking soda to the
litter, and mixing it in.  It has worked quite well for me (I have 2
neutered males).

Good luck,
