Why is my cat suddenly not using the litter box? Dog stress or UTI?

Question

My cat has stopped going to the bathroom in his litter box. No changes to his litter or food have been made and everything in the house had remained the same. He goes in different spots in the house and I don't know why. I do know the dog does "play" with him and I've tried to stop her with no success. But he was going even when this started. I'm not sure what to do. What could I do to make him start going in the litter box again? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 years and 5 months old | 8 lbs

It's possible Zeus could have an issue such as a urinary tract infection going on which is causing him to have accidents around the house. Stress (such as from the dog) can also sometimes trigger urinary issues as well. it would be best to seek a veterinary appointment and have his urine checked for any signs of infection or crystals in the urine which could be causing his symptoms, especially if there doesn't seem to be a behavioral cause behind it.
