My Cat Behavior Bathroom Behavior Changed And I'm Confused On Why???

Hello and welcome to TCS. Sorry for the reason that brought you here though.
Did anything change in the household prior to this behaviour beginning? Is Ralph an only pet? Are there any stray or neighbourhood cats he might see outside that window? And has he been for a vet checkup to ensure there's nothing medical going on with him? Ralph's neutered, right?

Nothing changed to my knowledge and we have a dog. Ralph and Jj have lived together for a couple of years. I havent seen any stray cats. Ralph has always had high anxiety and grooms himself constantly. So Im not sure what to do at this point. He has been medically cleared.
Has the vet suggested anything about Ralph's over grooming?

Make sure you use an enzyme cleaner wherever he's peed, otherwise he will still be able to smell his scent, and may continue to go in the same place.

It might be a feral lurking around that window since he's both pooping and peeing. Oftentimes they'll eliminate inappropriately because of territorial anxiety if it's not health-related. Could you try placing cat deterrents around the window where he eliminates? Also, has the area been cleaned thoroughly with enzyme cleaners? He might be still smelling the residue and re-marking it.
