Need Help ASAP

Okay so my cat is about a year old now and since he was a kitten he would pee on the bathroom mat or in our laundry basket. So it has been getting worse he now pees on any cloths left on the floor. Before i left for work today i have a game room in my house with his cat tree in there and he peed on all the couch cushions and the pillows. A little more information about my house i have plenty of room i have a brand new 3 bed room house. I also have 2 German Shepherds one is about a year and a half and the other is 7 months but both of the dogs get along great with the cat. I am starting to think that the cat thinks he is a dog he places rough with the dogs and wrestles with them. I am honestly on my last straw and do not know what to do. He is the best cat i ever had besides this one problem and i do not know what to do. please someone help

Is he neutered? 

Have you seen the vet about this?  I suspect a UTI.

he has been neutered and i might take him to the vet again but he was doing to before and we took him to the vet about this before and they said he didnt have a UTI

I'd take him back to the vet and have an in-depth discussion about your cat's litterbox problems.  Ninety percent of these issues are medical.

Find a vet who is a member of the AAFP http://www.catvets.com/   You need to know if it's medical or behavior because that's how you unlock the key in fixing the problem.  Even if it is a medical issue you will likely need to confine and litter box train your cat from scratch. But you have to eliminate medical before you can address the possibility of behavior.

I agree that a vet visit is essential.

My vet put my cat on anti-anxiety medication when he was having litterbox issues and that worked well for us.

I hope that you can find a solution soon. 

In addition to a vet visit, I would also reduce your cat's availability to space. I would put him in a bathroom with a litter box and food/water. If he is using the litter box, slowly give him more space. If he is consistently peeing in one space, place an extra litter box there.

Also, try several types of litter and different boxes. And don't change his food or try an alternate food. Some cats have a way of showing us that something isn't right by use of litter box.

I agree there is no sense in letting your cat access to the whole house. This is not a long term solution as it might cause other behavior problems.
