That does sound like the likely cause. Even if the neighbour cat didn't actually spray inside, the smell of her inside Precious's house in itself could have worried her enough that she felt she needed to put up a big sign saying: "THIS HOUSE BELONG PRECIOUS!"
Then Honey needed to add "AND HONEY TOO!!"
With a bit of luck, you have now taken down their sign and put up an even bigger sign saying "THIS HOUSE BELONG LADYOFASTOLAT!!!!!!!" and thereby fixed the problem.
It's annoying that it's really easy to remove animal graffiti so that we can't detect it was ever there, but of course their ability to detect the smell is so much better than ours that they can go on responding to it for some time.
After Java died we had some political issues here* that ended up with Mollydog's beloved beanbag having to be chucked out. I washed the dratted thing in bio washing liquid 3 times, but they could still tell. I don't know why a row between Footie and Henning ended up targetting poor old Mollydog, but I guess there is cat logic in there somewhere.
