He's got access outside and a clean litter tray but the past 3 days he has peed on the floor, in the same spot. Thankfully it's laminate!

Any idea why he just started doing that. He never not used his tray before.

Oh, I see. In that case, I wouldn't let him choose his time - I'd make a point of putting him out very regularly. That's what I do with my dog. If I leave her to her own devices ..... whoops!

Possibly BM. The flash is citrus which hasn't really had any effect so far
barmaid, that we think is part of our problem with Rover - there are a couple of cats who lurk outside our front door (don't try to come in, but he knows they are there) - so he wees. We've seen the spray marks on the dustbins and they are not ours!

PS Personally I would rather he wees than the eternal spraying he used to do - in the old days, show him a vertical surface, whoosh :-(

He can currently go in and out as and when he chooses. Should I lock him in at certain time then do you think?
What do you clean his litter tray with?

My old lady started going elsewhere which was so unlike her. I traced the problem to the fact that my housemate was giving her tray a wipe with lemon kitchen spray. Put her right off.

He sprays too Boxy, and it makes me very paranoid as I have an awful sense of smell but so far I've only ever seen him doing it outside.
We have the same problem with our girl cat, Boxy. Next door's cat sits outside the flap and she is scared of him. So she wees in the bidet (I kid you not) and sometimes craps on the bathroom floor.
No, don't lock him in, you can't train a cat to wee on demand like you can a dog. If you lock him in he'll become more anxious, plus you might get unwanted poo as well as wee.
^ ah, you have a litter tray. I still wouldn't lock him in.

His litter tray has a liner in it so whenever it needs it the whole lot just gets whipped out. In between I just scoop 'used' bits out and cover with a de-odourising powder. This is nothing new and he's been happy with that for the past 8 years.
My sister came to stay a couple of weeks ago and when tidying up after she'd gone, I found that Black Spot had crapped in the spare bedroom (which is the room next to their litter tray in the upstairs bathroom). I feel sure he was asserting his scent again in that room.
try the soap powder check outside and maybe swirl some hot water and soap powder outside to get rid of the traces of other cats.

I also have problems Piper has tried digging her way out of the back door (she's in season again) and has actually made a hole in the stone work!!!!
Question Author
Good idea, Fgt. I'll try putting cleaning a bit outside too. I had tried another tack of sprinkling some of his used litter around the garden in the hope it would deter other cats but that didn't work.
crumbs helen, I have heard of dogs eating the woodwork, but not a cat!
I'm not with you. Why would you want to lock him in? I'd be more inclined to put him out - and often.
If it was the woodwork box it would not be so bad she has actually been scraping away at the stonework (we live in an old house)

I will have to get plastering it is quite a large hole!!
Question Author
Sorry Naomi, I misunderstood what you were saying before. I thought it was odd you'd suggest I lock him IN the house :)
Oh right. :o)
I thought you were locking him in to try to give him some timetable for weeing :-)
Can't think why. I said //I wouldn't let him choose his time - I'd make a point of putting him out very regularly.//
