Please Help!
I have a wonderful spayed mail I adopted from a feril litter about 18 months ago. He's a wonderful cuddle, but I'm at my witts end. He will urinate only in my tub and deficates less than a foot from the litter box. When he was a kitten, he used the box. I am away most weekends, and when I get home, there are at least three movements withing 9"-12" of the boxes(some even closer than that), and usually one special package in front of the kitchen sink. I'm guessing the one in the kitchen is yelling at me for being away for so long....but even when I'm home, he won't use the box for either function. I have been able to let him out, although that is illeagal in my condo complex, and this relieves some of the poop issue, but not the urinating. Having to scrub the tub every time I want to take a shower has lost it's shiney and as much as I love Lumpy, he may have to go if these problems can't be resolved. I have: used every kind of litter available, been to the vet, filled the tub with water, added litter boxes, begged him, squirted with a water pistol....

Any other suggestions?

Thanks to all!
