Answer
Hi
yes but not to the same extent. un-spayed cats are spraying to leave a marker for tom cats to say hi here i am. A sort of introduction come and get me card. spayed cats will only spray if they feel they have to mark their territory. This only happens if they smell another cat who has sprayed. So this is less of an occurrence and indeed you may never witness it.
