Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I recommend taking Ollie to the vet to make sure he doesn't have an infection or bladder stones. If negative, I recommend cleaning the surfaces he has urinated on with a product that neutralizes odor. Even if you can't smell it cats still can. I recommend picking up a plug-in pheromone diffuser from PetCo. This releases calming scents in the air (that you can't smell) that will hopefully relieve any stress he is encountering. I would also add more litter boxes to the home and scoop them daily. A good rule of thumb is one box per cat per floor of your home, plus an extra. That would be 5 boxes per floor of the home. I hope this helps! Good luck and kisses to the kitties!
