Once kidney problems or UTI are ruled out, you can bet it's a territory issue. We had a cat, who had never once peed outside the litter box, start marking walls when we brought another cat into the house. He was apparently territorial insecure with her in the house and started marking around places where he felt squeezed out. We eliminated bottle necks to food, water and litter boxes where he might feel trapped by the other cat.
That helped a lot but we still had the occasional issue. Finally we started him on 5mg Prozac and the marking stopped. Dealing with pilling him every day was a pain but it was nice not having to deal with cat pee. I guess you can get it (the Prozac) compounded now into a gel that you just rub on their ears. Also, check Jackson Galaxy's Youtube channel on how to properly introduce a new cat into the house. Finally, this is what helps with cleanup. Anything that won't bleach can be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide mixed with baking soda and a few drops of dish detergent. That pretty much eliminates the smell (works great on skunk smells too). Clothes, towels, small rugs, etc can be soaked in hot water with laundry detergent and borax. Then wash in the machine like normal but with some added borax in the rinse. Carpets are trickier because it's most likely soaked down into the pad. This means you can't just clean the carpet but have to flood it so the cleaner also gets into the pad. I use a product called Anti-Icky Poo () mixed into hot water along with a protease enzyme. Let it soak for a while and then suck up as much as you can with an extractor (or a wet/dry vacuum, in a pinch). |

This is a jealousy issue. Give one cat to someone else. Problem solved.

I have a cat that did this - it turned out, she had fleas and she is allergic, so she was very uncomfortable. Went to prescription flea meds and no more issues.

Kill cat. Bury cat in Pet Cemetery. Tomorrow, your car will be a zombie cat and zombie cats don't pee. Problem solved. No need to thank me, just doin' my job.

My (or my wife's cat) was almost 20 and losing cognitive function at a pretty quick pace. Pissing everywhere, shitting on our rugs, walking into walls, yowling all night long and not eating.
It was his time. What do you do besides let him waste away? |
