I don't know if anyone else has suggested this, but one thing you can do is take him for walks. Yes. Walk your cat. They make specific cat harnesses. He'll fight you at first, like any dog would as well, but eventually he'll get used to it. It's a safe way to feed his need for roaming.
The other thing you can do is bring the outdoors do your cat! Get a little window box you can fill with cat-safe plants, including cat nip and cat grass.Â
When it's warm, our cats also like to go outdoors, but they rarely go beyond the porch. We have a fenced in yard, but we let them out on supervised trips outside. Keep in mind that cats redirect anger or aggression, so if you overly spray him he may go take it out on something else. It's best to try and work with them on their needs, a bit of compromise. He may also want to go outside because he's not getting enough exercise and is restless. If you don't want to take him for walks or make him a little cat grass corner, trying tiring him out. Play with him until he starts panting. Wearing a cat out actually cures a lot of bad behaviors, simply because they're content to laze around and not get into any trouble!
