Hi There,

I always recommend a vet check and a urinalysis to rule out infection when a cat is urinating outside of the litterbox. If there is no infection present and the cat doesn't have crystals, the problem is probably behavioral.

I would clean the litterbox more than once daily, and consider adding a second box. You might want to also try the litter called "Cat Attract" to see if it helps.

I would still start with a vet exam, though.

Please keep us updated.

Hi I do have 3 litter boxes 2 have lids and1does not and yes i am getting that cat stuff you said i should and i did take him to the vet to see if he had a uti but he did not and i even gave him to my aunt for about 3 weeks to see if he would stop because she has no pets he did for the 2 weeks but the 3rd he was peeing so she gave him back and i had my mom talk to one of her friedns because she has like 6 cats and she tould her about that stuff so she is getting it for me TODAY so i hope it works because i do not want to get rid of him ageinthat was so hardto do but he only pees on my stuff he goes in every room and is stuff is on the ground he doesnothing unless it my room so do you think if that stuff does not work i should take him back to the vet?? Thanks *Dominique*

he doesnothing unless it my room

Have you closed him out of your room (or at least shut the door when you weren't in there) to see what he does since it sounds like he only goes on things in your room?

Do you have a box in your room with Cat Attract Litter in it? You may want to put one near the area he goes the most.

I keep my cat in my room i dont let him out unless im home because my mom does not want him out until hes not peeing on my stuff i do have 2 litter boxes im my room and thay are big ones 1 has a lid on it and 1 does not i just got him the 1 with out the lid to see if that helps to and i think im geting the cat attract tomorrow i hope when i get the cat attract will work when i get it (the only thing he pees on is my clothes) so i did buy a tub to but them in im feeding him iams kitten food and i do give him a can like 1 time a week so do you think that is ok??

Do try the Cat Attract litter. It very well could work for you. You can get it at PetsMart and many other pet stores. It is supposed to work well to re-train cats. It has a certain smell or something that attracts them to the litter box. Use it full-strength at first to make sure he is attracted.

It is recommended to feed kittens kitten food until they are a year old. If I remember, he is a year old in June? You may want to gradually switch him to adult food after he is a year old. Gradually by mixing the kitten food in with the adult food for about a week so his system isn't shocked by sudden food change (and he gets diarrhea or something). Start mixing a little of the new food in every day, adding more each day, until you have all new food in the dish by the end of the week. Whether you feed wet or dry is a personal choice. Many keep dry out all the time and feed wet once a day. I keep dry out all the time and never feed wet. Up to you, just make sure he has food and plenty of water available. He's a growing, active boy at his age...
