Peeing inappropriately!

I have no idea why. The litterbox is clean,
he's eating and drinking well, he's been playing well with Paintball,
so I have no
reason to believe he's sick.
Arrrrrgh....any thoughts?

Did it occur to you to take him to a vet? He probably has a urinary
tract infection and innappropriate urination is often the only symptom.
You'd better get it checked out ASAP, because if you don't and he does
have a medical problem, he could block and die.
You've read this newsgroup for quite some time and I am shocked that you
don't know this.

There haven't been any changes lately, and I can't think of anything he'd be
upset about...I'm really at a loss here for why he did this.

I would've expected him to do this when Paintball first came to live with us,
and then insisted on sharing his food bowl/water bowl/litterbox, but that was a
year ago, and he let her. (Meaning he didn't hiss at her or anything to let her
know it was his stuff.) With two cats sharing the same litterbox, you can bet
I clean that out regularly.

Their sleeping habits have changed a bit--ever since she came to live with us,
Paintball's wanted nothing more than to cuddle up to him at night, and I've
woken up lately to see them curled up together, but I figure if he didn't want
that, he would stalked away from her (which is what he did in the past when he
wasn't big on sharing his personal space with her).

And he's seemed friendlier--before, if I had people over, he'd hide, nowadays,
he comes downstairs and even demands to be petted. So any changes I saw seemed
to be positive ones. I'm honestly stumped as to what he could be upset about.

Arrrrrgh....any thoughts?

Peeing is never inappropriate, it is the spots that are inappropriate. ;-)

First rule out any medical issue by getting him to a vet for a check, be
sure to mention this peeing outside the box to the vet.

In article ,

How old is he?
Is it possible he is losing control of his bladder? Our old Tom (RIP)
began losing control as he got older (12) and his kidneys didn't do so
great...

I can't think of anything else besides that and the customary UTI
explanation...
