Since they are Indoor/Outdoor cats. I doubt its a litterbox issue since they have all the outside to poop and pee in. Sounds like territorial and behavioral issue. Since you have a "Daddy" cat and he was allowed to get older enough to breed "Mommy" cat and a "baby" cat was born, he was old enough to set up a territory in the house. I would put my money on Daddy. Are the spots on the wall or floor? Spraying cats generally are male (though some overly aggressive females have been known to spray there urine too but its more stream like and concentrated rather than mist like) are usually dousing furniture, walls, beds, and other things off the floor. Spots on the floor are usually squatters, hence females. Though you will not identify a urine by itself with out seeing the culprit. Get a kitty CSI to do some detective work. Just kidding. If its the Male, my guess a new and un-neutered male has moved into the block some where and since he has contact with him outside its making him mad and nervous. Hes bringing in that instability to his home and being sure that his house in not invaded by the new more dominant male. Watch daddy reallllllly close for the next few weeks. As to stopping it. Try confining them to a room with a brand new litter box and clean it every day. Also increase the amount of boxes in the house and be super fastidious in cleaning them every single day.

Are you keeping the litter box cleaned really well? My mother-in-law had the same problem with her cat but it was after one of them died so the vet said it could have been depressed and for her to get a new litter box so it wouldn't be reminded of the one that had died. Also it might be the tom cat. We had one that felt he had to mark his territory all the time so we had him fixed but he still figured out a way to spray the furiture and stuff with urine. We wouldn't have believed it if we hadn't have seen him do it. That is why I will never have another tom cat in the house. Hope this helps.

I have two suggestions to try:
(1) 3 cats should have FOUR boxes. After a few years older cats can decide they no longer want to share.
(2) plastic litterboxes have only about a two-year life span at best. They pick up odors from bacteria that are not discernible to humans and that the cats don't like. Invest if some new boxes if yours are old.

Go to Petco.com or drsfostersmith.com and purchase Dumb Cat Anti-Marking. Buy a blacklight and find the areas where they are peeing. Treat those areas. Purchase a magnetic cat door that only your cats have magnets on their collar to let them into the house. This will lock out strays.

I think the only way a HUMAN can find out for sure is to catch the culprit in the act.

Don't bother with the cats peeing in the house. Anyone who has that many cats no doubt has few if any visitors, just sit back and watch the number of them multiply until the neighbors start calling you "Cat Lady".

take them all to the vet and have them checked for the possibilty of a urinary tract infection.
