I have adopted a 2 year old unfixed male cat. And he prefers to pee everywhere else but his kitty box. He is super sweet otherwise, and do not want to have to get rid of him. Any suggestions? Will fixing him help with this problem? I will be fixing him soon anyways, but hoping fixing him will make it better..........thanks!

Fixing should help - he is marking his territory. Also have a thorough check-up by the vet - some cats do this when they are sick

It may help but there is no gurantee. Alot of times when cats start marking they do not stop even after getting spayed or neutered. I personally would rehome him to a small room like a bathroom and see if you can get him retrained into using the box. Also after he marks everything he may tame down cause he has made everything his but any upset in the house like another cat or dog may get him going again. Whew! I hope your house doesn't smell! MAle cat urine is awfull! You really didn't state if he was spraying or peeing! Spraying is when they are standing and lift there back legs a little and there tale is just a swinging. If for some reason we are confused here by him not spraying you could be as lucky as having a U.T.I. I would make that appt. to get him neutered ASAP Good Luck

Yes, he could be marking his territory, as some male cats do, and this always goes away when the neutering process, is done, but, it sometimes can be a symptom of a U.T.I ( urinary tract infection) which is not to uncommon in cat's. Does he make any sound when he urinates or meows or cry's? Make sure the diet that you are feeding him does not have a lot of salt in it, with a lot of cat foods do, and it is not good for them, as it hurts there kidney's, and puts a strain on them, thus causing bladder leakage, and accident's! Be sure to bring this up with your vet when you have him nuetered!
p.s. Good for you for being responsible, having your cat nuetered, I voluteer at a cat shelter, and it is sad to see all the homeless cat's there, that irresponsible people throw away and keep letting get pregnant over and over again, one cat can quickley turn into 10 or more in a years time!

Fixing probably will help, yes. After all, he is marking territory.
If it's become a habit, you'll want to cover your best with a plastic tarp, rip out any soaked carpet and padding you have, seal the area with something like Kilz, then repaint. That way there won't be any odor to encourage him to pee again.
Good luck!

Yes getting him neutered should stop the peeing. He is marking his territory. Once he is neutered that behavior should stop. But it will take about 3 weeks for all of the hormones to vacate his system

He may not actually be peeing everywhere. Since he isn't fixed, he might be spraying to mark his territory. I would consult with your vet & see if fixing him would change this problem.
Good luck! I know this can be frustrating! :)
