Kitty cat :(
My cat is now about two years old.
We've had him for a year and a half.
He's very house trained, he uses his litter box, doesn't scratch furniture etc.
Recently he didn't really want to eat anything, but now he's eating fine again and all is ok.
The thing is though that he keeps peeing in random places. Like once on the side of our sofa, then in the corner of our island counter in the kitchen, in the middle of my parent's bathroom, middle of a carpet, etc.
He still uses the litter box but I'm worried.
He's never peed anywhere else in the house.
The only things that could affect him could be the fact that we moved houses, but that was at the end of April...and he adjusted quickly.
Also during the summer holidays he used to go out in the morning and then come in the house for lunch and then just go in out and out during the day. Now that school starts we let him out once me or my brother get home from school.
He doesn't stay out during night either.
So yeah, any ideas what could be causing him to pee in random places over the house?
Or should we take him to the vet?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Has your cat been neuteured? Yes some cats have trouble adujsting to their new home, but that's also a question to consider. My cat started peeing in random places, not to mention, my shoe :[ They are marking their territory and they are ready to mate. Your cat should want to explore, being a tom cat. Hmm... take him to the vet. I'm sure your parents do not want to smell cat pee especially if he's in heat. That pee smells awful!Hurry and take him to the vet before it becomes behavioral because it will and then its uncontrollable. Try to surround your cat with familiar objects, it should make him feel a little better. Buy him a sibling:] lol, i know that sounds funny but maybe he needs a companion.

If he feels adjusted and is otherwise friendly, doesn't glare or run from you or stare angrily at you when you come home (all signs that a cat is angry with living adjustments and feels passive-aggressive), then it could be a medical problem. Considering his age, it's probably not kidney failure. Keeping him in at night is good. I'd suggest taking him to the vet to rule out physical discomfort. You're doing everything else right, I think.

this same thing happened to my cat, what we found out he had was a UTI, we took him to the vet and he had surgery and then he was all fine again and used his litter box.
so maybe thats whats wrong with your cat, i suggest taking him to the vet though
