Your cat could be ill. I had a cat that was 11, and I noticed he was peeing in my clothes basket. I thought he was just being spiteful, or lazy. I took him to the vet, and he had a bad bladder infection. He did not get better, even with antibiotics, an IV, etc. He died 3 weeks later.
Sometimes, if there is a change in his routine, like being left alone for long periods of time, a cat may do this to let you know he is upset with you.
If he doesn't quit this soon, I would take him to the vet.

because of the fact he needs a separate field to pee in and a separate field to poo in. Many cats come to a decision - in specific circumstances somewhat abruptly - that they won't use the comparable muddle tray for the two purposes (that's totally actual of long haired cats). supply the cat one extra muddle tray, use sturdy high quality clumping muddle and if the tray has a hood then take it off as many cats do in comparison to creating use of a hooded tray the two because of the fact the smell interior isn't intense high quality for them. The muddle you utilize would desire to be as on the part of sand as accessible as that's comfortable on their paws and and not in any respect use scented muddle as whilst it gets moist the cat has to lick scented muddle off its paws this is very disgusting for a cat! freshen up the section he has used with organic and organic washing liquid because of the fact the enzimes would desire to take the smell away. i could propose putting the extra suitable muddle tray down interior the comparable section that he has been utilising inappropriately and then very gradually (a pair of feet daily) flow it closer and closer to the different tray. If he nonetheless makes use of the carpet even whilst the recent tray is there, %. the waste up with a tissue and place it interior the tray and flow away it there for a mutually as. optimistically the heady scent would desire to entice him back to the main surprising place the subsequent time he needs to flow.

Just like humans, when cats get older, they lose some of their bodily function control. You can take your cat to the vet and see if there is anything he can prescribe to help.

He's gone senile, my parents cat started doing that for no reason too. He ended up getting kicked outside to live in the barn.
