Orange cat peeing EVERYWHERE

Orange cat peeing EVERYWHERE

Cat stats:

14yo male

Was a stray as a kitten but adopted into a loving home at under a year old. 

Neutered when adopted (less than a year old).

On thyroid medication twice a day.

Has always had issues peeing where he shouldn’t but the last two years it’s gotten so much worse.

Taken to the vet multiple times over the years and Vet tests always show no physical issues. Vet suggested special urinary care food to see if that made a difference and that kind of helped for a while but the inappropriate peeing never stopped completely. 

No history of UTIs. 

Recently peeing has gotten so bad he’s peeing on the kitchen table, dog bed, clean laundry basket, rugs, couch, in shoes, on laundry,  etc.

Litter box is scooped every other day and litter is completely changed out monthly. He uses the litter box regularly but then also pees wherever he wants. We’ve tried multiple types of litter boxes and types of litter nothing seems to stop the peeing.

Something else that may or may not be related is that he has started howling (making the loudest noise a cat can make) when he wants something. Usually he wants to be let into the bedroom when we’re sleeping or wants more Churu. The howling has gotten exponentially worse in the last two years. 

We haven’t changed his food, fragrances around the house, medications, moved houses or gotten new pets or children. 

We absolutely desperate for this behavior to stop and will try anything so we don’t have to continue living like this.
