Search the Google archive for "inapropriate elimination" - you will find many suggestions. -L. (This is now going to become my standard response...)

Very basic question here........
You say he is male, is he neutered? Un-neutered male cats will often mark their territory. If he is not neutered, get him neutered. This may or may not solve the problem, because marking starts out as an instinctive behavior, but can become a habit if carried on for too long. Other things too can trigger this behavior like a recent move to a new home, or an introduction of another cat into the environment. I had a female cat that used to spray when we moved (which we did three times in her lifetime). Eventually when she became comfortable she would stop. If the cats spraying is anxiety related, the vet may reccommend an anti depressant medication for him.
