My unneutered male cat started peeing everywhere. What should I do?

Question

My 10 months old British shorthair do not have a neutering surgery, and I don’t want him to get neutered, but he started to pee somewhere other than his own toilet. What should I do to avoid him peeing everywhere? Or will this situation become better if he gets older? Thank you so much!

The first thing you should do is get him seen by your vet to determine if a urinary tract infection is what is causing him to urinate inappropriately. If he is healthy, your vet may be able to give you some tips on redirecting his behavior. Also put out another litter box in another location in case there is something around the original box that is repelling him for some reason, too noisy, too much activity, another cat guarding it, something frightened him. Make sure the litter box is kept clean, scooping multiple time a day if needed. Some cats become more picky and fastidious about their litter box as they age. The general rule of thumb is one litter box per cat plus one, that way no one cat can claim the litter box as territory. And frankly, if you aren't planning to breed him, he will be happier, healthier and live longer if he is neutered.
