A cat spraying is an instinct that male cats have to mark their territory. Whatever they're spraying on, it means "this is mine". There are some deterrents available at your local pet store to prevent this. Spraying is a part of communication among cats, helping to define boundaries and tell other cats whose area is whose. It is also a way of attracting a mate.
Cats have a special gland near their rectum. it can release a foul odor. Cats who have been fixed when young rarely spray.
Females spray in exactly the same way, although not as often. Female cats who are in heat are likely to spray a lot more when no in heat, to advertise herself to a male cat.
A female cat, just like a male cat, can and will spray when on heat, or feel their territory is being threatened. They spray very strong-smelling urine to communicate with other cats in the area.
Male cats spray as they are more territorial than uneutured male cats. Also I think it may have something to do with attracting a mate. However, some neutered males will still spray if neutered later in life, mainly because it is now "habit". You might need to teach the cat that spraying is not acceptable.
GentaVed topical spray for dogs can also be used on cats. The spray can be used on all animals. You just need to make sure to use the correct dosage amount.

Remove the shrubs. Unfortunately, that is not a smart-aleck answer. Cats will spray "gateposts", the markers of their territory, to indicate that a particular stretch of turf is theirs. Your shrubs have become gatepost markers for the neighborhood cats, and the cats will continue to spray them, or their replacements. You might check with your local garden center for shrubs that smell bad to cats, and replace your current shrubbery with those.
