It is always important to make sure Seymour is not having urinary problems as the root of this behavior. I'd recommend having him examined and having his urine tested for crystals as a potential cause. Consider trying Feliway to help calm him if this is behavioral and even consider adding lots of new boxes around the home to encourage him to urinate in the litter box.
