Peeing on the floor and bed - 8 weeks kitten

Hi, we have a 8 weeks old kitten from our first litter of Scottish Straight cats.
He nurses very little now, eats dry and canned kitten food, drinks water from pet fountain and is a very playfull and happy kitten.
He and his sisters were litter trained since 4 or 5 weeks old and everything went fine.
3 or 5 days ago I noticed he peed on my bed and on the tile floor (several times [emoji]128532[/emoji]).
As his fur is longhair he becomes wet on his belly and back legs so I have to clean him.
He went to the vet last week to take his vacination and deworming routine and general check-up - everything was ok.
We have 2 big litter tray and all use them, as well as him. I scoop twice a day, so the litter is clean and odour free.
I could use your help because I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong here.
Thanks in advance for your help.

well since he still a kitten he probably will have few accidents here and there,

keep him in a room until you sure he using the litterbox  98-100% of the time. get a enzyme cleaner and use it to clean the areas he went on

Have you changed litter types at all? Some cats can be really picky about the feel of litter and don't usually adjust well to a new one.

Also, it may be that he doesn't like to share his box - some cats don't You can try adding more litter boxes and see if that helps. That rule of thumb is usually 1 box for each cat, plus one extra.

Are the two boxes you have the same type? I could be that he doesn't like the type - some cats love covered litter boxes, some hate them, for instance. Some like low sides on the box, some like high...you may have to experiment a bit.

Have you had a look at the site's Litterbox guide: http://www.thecatsite.com/a/litterbox-problems-in-cats-the-ultimate-guide ? You've done some of it, but there may also be some things in here you haven't tried.

Inappropriate peeing is a fairly common issue, though, so I'm sure some others will be along soon with more ideas.

Thank you for your answer.
We did not change the litter type, is the same. The boxes are covered and he uses it most of the time. The problem is when he goes to my room (far away from where the boxes are) and jumps into bed... He seems atracted to the bed's clothes.
10 years ago I had a red persian who did exactly the same thing, but he was older than this guy.
For now we do not alow him to go our room until this problem is solved, neither do the other cats [emoji]128532[/emoji].

I suggest adding an open box in the house...perhaps in the bedroom or closer to the bedroom than the other boxes. It may just be that he is holding it until he can't any longer.

Honestly at 8 weeks old he wouldn't have the issues that mature cats will, he is still totally kitten minded.

The only 100% way of dealing with this is to confine him in a very small space until he uses it all of the time, he should NEVER have accidents.

It's simply being lazy basically, if there is not a box right there when it's time to go, the floor will do or clothing, etc.

Since he will be yours forever, you don't want to be dealing with issues during his lifetime. Nobody is happy when a cat randomly will pee outside the box.

Small space, bathroom or similar, if he goes on the floor he can be crated. That will def. cure this problem.

I know it's hard to confine, and he is NOT going to like it either.

If you don't want to confine him, then spend a weekend (a couple days solid) and every hour take him to the box and stimulate him to pee.

It reprograms their little brains that the box is the appropriate place and nowhere else.

Adding several boxes helps alot too. As I said, if he doesn't have a box practically right under his nose wherever he goes, he will choose to not stop what he was doing to go find the box.

Thanks for your answer,
It makes sense, he was not familiar with the room and that is a little far away from the boxes.
I will confine him to the living room and the kitchen (places where he used to be since he was born) until he uses nothing but the litter box.
