First, you need to determine if it is, indeed, spraying and not urinating. Spraying is against a wall in a spray pattern. Urinating out of the box leaves puddles or large spots on the rug. When a cat sprays, it is usually a territorial issue and even fixed cats can spray. Since she was spayed so recently, I'd say she needs to be tested for a urinary tract infection (UTI) by her vet to make sure she hasn't stopped using the litter box because she associates it with the pain of uriinating. The only way to determine whether or not she has one of these is by a vet culturing her urine. There are really no outward symptoms other than ceasing to use the box. If she gets a clean bill of health, then you need to research why she's spraying. Clean her spray marks/puddles with Nature's Miracle, an enzymatic cleaner (PetsMart) to destroy odor. Keep her box VERY clean. When you're at the vet's you can also ask them for hints and suggestions.
