I had a cat that did that too. She was a long haired cat and was very festidious. What I did to cure that little problem (and it worked well too) was to fill the tub with about 2-3 inches of water. Sure enough, late that night we are awoken to the sound of a splash and sounds a frantic cat scrambling to get out of the now slippery tub. Now like I said, she was very festidious with long hair and being covered in water, spend the rest of the night licking herself dry. It took a couple more instances for it to sink in that the tub could have water in it and was probably not the best place to have a squat. Good luck.

Some cats are sensative when it comes to the litter box. i had a cat that did the same thing. Come to find out all I had to do was make sure there wasn't ANYTHING in the litter boxx when my cat used it. It was a pain in the neck. No puddles or anything. Just keep checking it and she'll start using it. As long as its kept clean it should be ok. Give her a little time. Show some patience with her. Don't scold her as she won't understand what you scolding her for.

My cat kept peeing in the tub. Not sure what you mean no-no for though. She would go in the tub when her litter box wasn't changed often enough to her liking.

I would put a little water in the tub, not too much or he could drown but enough for him to stay out of the tub. Cats hate water!

It can be tempting with only one cat to have only one litterbox, but really you should have one litterbox per cat plus one (heard this from my vet). So for you, that means 2 boxes (which you may already have). This helps if your cat is especially picky about his box being clean, he has another "ok" place to go. Just make sure he knows where they both are.
Also think about any major changes that may have happened recently. Cats hate change, so when it happens, they may start going in places they're not supposed to. Try to reduce whatever the stress may be. Also the vet recommended to me Feliway products (cat pheromones). It comes in plug-in and spray options, and is odorless to people. The pheromones help relax cats, and many people swear it helped their bathroom-problem kitties. Good luck!

Put the litter box in an enclosed space with no bath tub and lock him in the room for a day or two. Do not forget to feed or water him. You can also try taking his paw and rubbing it in the litter box to encourage the use of it.
