So sorry that you are having this problem. I know it can be very frustrating. The first thing you could do is have him examined by a vet to make sure he doesn't have a urinary tract infection or other medical reason causing him to urinate outside the box. If a medical reason has been ruled out and it is strictly a behavioral issue then you could try a Feliway diffuser or spray and/or Solliquin chews and see if that helps. You could also take to your vet about trying an anti-anxiety medication, like Prozac. Hope the issue gets resolved quickly!
