our 7.5 month old cat was neutered last month.
About 2 weeks ago we got up adn he had piddled all over my lo's 'rug' airport.
I chucked it out thinking maybe he had an accident and did not want him being able to 'smell' where he had done it.
Yesterday he [in front of me] got on the sofa and started scratting one of the cushions and next thing I knew started piddling on it!!
Needless to say I grabbed him and shouted no and chucked him in his cat tray.
I also chucked out that cushion.
He tried agin this morning on adifferent cushion and I again ran and grabbed him before he actually started.
We have just now come back in from an afternoon out and he has had a big love[like normal] I went upstairs have come back down and you guessed -he has piddled all over a cushion.
Can anyone shed any light?
He is an indoor cat who gets lots of fuss ,he always has a clean cat tray.
I wondere if he was jealous of our 3 year old but feel like I am clutching at straws with that one.
He has never done this before not even when we got him at 8 weeks old.
Please help !!!

If this is new after an operation - does he have an infection? I would seriously think about getting the Vet to check him out.

I found this online too:
"Although we may view cats as mysterious, infathomable critters, they do nothing without reason. One of the more serious reasons for cats urinating outside the litter box is a urinary tract dysfunction, known as FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease), formerly known as FUS (Feline Urinary Syndrome.) FLUTD will cause painful urination, which the cat may associate with the litterbox, thereby avoiding it. Therefore, inappropriate elimination may be your first clue that your cat needs medical care. If you ignore it, or, worse yet, choose to punish your cat, the disease can quickly become life-threatening. "

and other sites all suggest inappropriate urinating rather than spraying is usually due to illness.

Hope this is NOT the case, but best to get it checked?

He could have a kidney infection. One of my tom-cats once got onto my lap and wee-ed all over me.
I was not amused, but it turned out he had a kidney infection which was quickly cured by antibiotics.

Thanks for your help I will speak to the vets in the morning and see what they say.
He was banished to the kitchen last night but I daren't let him go upstairs and him piddle everywhere.
