It is unlikely your older neutered cat has suddenly developed the urge to spray urine everywhere to mark his territory, unless another uncastrated tom has wandered into the area and is marking the territory. I would suspect your cat has a urinary problem and that he is not able to make it to the litter box in time. You should talk with your vet about this, and about what cleaning products are available to get the smell of cat urine out of the furniture.
