My cat pees EVERYWHERE!!! Please help!!!

Thread Starter 
So let me first start this out by saying that Sophie who is now a little over a year old has developed a very very baddddd habit, and he has been cleared by a vet as being healthy EXCEPT for oral herpes that was present since birth (which I'm probably going to create a different thread for).


Sophie pees on anything and everything that is soft.

I clean out the litter boxes (we have four) consistently so that he always has a fresh place to pee, yet if clothes are left on the floor, they are a target.

Our spare bedroom isn't finished yet and I went in there this morning and found pee stains ALLLLLLL over the place, on pillows especially.

It's actually so bad, that I had a shirt in my oversized purse on the floor and the purse was open. Sophie actually climbed into my purse, pushed everything off the shirt and peed on it. I WITNESSED he exiting the purse.

He also poops in the bathtub, and I'm pretty positive he urinates in there as well.... I can only find evidence when there's poop, but I can't get the smell of cat waste products out of our guest bathroom because it's been such a target.

I don't know what to do. It's not medical, that's been cleared up. He just recently two months ago had a full check-up.

HELPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

So many things could be triggering this. Without doing a consultation and having a history, all I can do is throw a bunch of ideas out there. Of course all possible medical causes need to be ruled out, make sure she doesn't have a UTI.
1. Check the litter box locations. They shouldn't be together in one location.
2. Boxes need to be big and uncovered.
3. Other animals may be making Sophie feel nervous
4. Changes in the household can trigger her
5. You need to use a really good enzyme cleaner.
6. Do you use dryer sheets in your laundry? Lots of cats will go to the bathroom on articles that have been laundered with dryer sheets.
7. If Sophie is a long-haired cat, she may need a trim.
8. Check your litter type. Don't use scented litter. Don't change the litter types quickly.
9. Plug in a couple of Comfort Zones, to take the edge off the stress.

There are many more possible triggers, but this gives you a beginning.
