Argh! My new little 8 week old was using the litter box now he has started peeing everywhere but. What's going on? How do I stop it? Every hour I scoop him up and put him in the litterbox.

Stop using litterbox

@NanaZoe how long have you had him? If he's 'new' it's best to keep him in a confined space for a while before he has the run of the house.
If you have had him a while, a vet check is in order.
Here's a great guide to litterbox issues.. check through that as well.

I got him 2 weeks ago from the shelter. He was doing great. We got another kitten from the shelter, both 8 weeks and he was fine still using the box. Then I moved the box closer to where I have my older cats box (they are eating and drinking together) and that's when he stopped. I got a bigger box and put it back where his first one was. I place him in it every hour. Do you all think he will go back ousting the box?
Sounds like moving the box from the orginal spot was the trigger. Leave the box in the original location for a few days and see if that helps. I've heard that moving litter boxes can cause cats to stop using them. Best to pick a spot, and leave it.
You might need to keep him confined in a single room first, with food, water and litter box, then re-release him back into the whole home.

Thanks everyone. Looks like moving the litterboxes was the trigger. I put the box back. He started "going" in our powder room so after cleaning up I placed as mallet box I there as well and he is a happy kitty!
