I adopted both an 11-year old male, William, and a 3-year old male, Galahad, a year ago and have been dealing with pee ever since. William is fine and uses the litter box with no issues, except for a rare accident, but Galahad has been peeing everywhere BUT the litter box.
I have two litter boxes, one covered and one uncovered, in my spare bathroom. Galahad will pee anywhere in this room, so I have the entire floor covered in puppy pads. I've tried a few different litters without much change. He's had other incidents around the house with peeing, but I think I've managed to finally stop those with some anti-urine products. I've used those same products in the bathroom in select spots, but am of course worried about confusing him. I've also tried plugging in a Feliway dispenser and it seemed to make things worse, so I took it out.
I also thought this was purely behavioral until I saw blood on some of the puppy pads and took him to the vet. But they said everything was fine with him; his ultrasound was clear and his urine showed no infection. They think he's stressed and recommended putting him on Hill's Multicare Stress, but he hasn't shown much improvement on it yet. William definitely seems to be in charge around the house, but they have a decent relationship. There's the occasional hiss and paw swat (from both sides), but they'll also sleep next to and groom one another.
I don't know what else to do. I'm going to keep dealing with it, of course, but I wish there was a way to not have my floors soaked in urine all the time. Any ideas?
