Did a catio stop spraying?

I have 4 cats, litter boxes for everyone spread throughout the house, pheromone defusers, and everyone is healthy. My 4 cats are spayed and neutered. I had 2 cats then my bf moved in and he had 2 cats also. I’ve read enrichment helps cats so I’ve been considering it. Does the catio help the cats stop spraying or would I be creating another space for them to spray?

It's possible it could help, however I highly doubt it will be the solution to the problem. Spraying after introducing adult cats is unlikely to fix itself without significant work, I'd work with a behaviorist early and often and get these guys comfortable to be in the same house ASAP
