Ok, I've got a question. I told a guy at work I'd ask around. I have my opinon of what's going on with his cat but let's see what others say & if you have any help I can tell him. I myself have never had a problem with a cat going outside of the litter, but his cat has started to. I guess he has just a couple of time sprayed (& I say sprayed because he is geitting it all over the bathroom door in thier basement). This particular cat had crystals in his urine a couple of years ago & a change in diet has helped with that. I asked about changes in the house & the guy at work said one of his sons just moved back into the house. Then we talked a little more & he said the cat was drinking more & urinating more in general. (which leads to my opinon that he may have something medical going on) I explained that the cat should be taken to the vet to make sure he wasn't having some sort of problem and said I would ask around for ideas to stop him from spraying, so anyone got anything that's worked for them?

I would take him to the vet, and if he is not fixed get him fixed, that may help.

You were correct, especially with a history of crystals already the cat needs a vet call and quickly.

Yup, sounds like vet time, especially with a history of urinary tract problems. Many times cats go outside the litterbox to tell us something is wrong. They can't speak to us, so they show us.

I'd take him to the vet. Get the crystals checked out and a check for a possible urinary tract infection while he's there too.
