My male cat pees on furniture. Is he marking or does he have a UTI?

Question

Male cat peeing on furniture, clothes, shoes and objects that are lying around, and when he's done, he's covering them up by scratching on the floor or wherever he pees on, could it be him marking his territory or might he have urinary tract infection? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 6 months old | 11 lbs

It is likely to be more a territorial issue rather than an actual medical problem due to the fact that he is not neutered so more inclined in marking around his territory. An infection could also be present. I would recommend a vet check up and urine test and they will be able to exclude the second or treat accordingly. Neutering would certainly be the first step to help with this problem.
