Totally not about debt/ cat problems, help!

Have you changed to a different litter lately? That's weird that he chooses to use dirty laundry to pee pee on. Not sure about this one Reny, I was thinking that perhaps the clothing has some type of scent on them from out doors your male cat is attracted to??

First things first. Review any changes you've made in your cat's environment... Different litter? Laundry soap? Cologne? If you've changed something recently [about when the problem started], try changing it back.

Have you discussed this with your veterinarian? Fixed toms can develop some oddball habits.

We are taking him into the vet this morning. I did some more reading last night and it seems like it might be a UTI. But, things for the suggestions so far. You know Uncle, we did change Laundry soap recently, hummmmmm I wonder if that could be it. Thanks Reny

not to scare you but I would get this checked ASAP, as it could be crystals and that can be really dangerous for male cats.

it sounds like your cat may have cystitis, a urinary tract infection male cats get. it is fairly common. I have had 2 male cats that have had this before and one of the common symptoms is urinating in places other than the litterbox. the fact that he is going #2 in the box probably means he has cystits. jessiejames is right that you should get him treated soon because it can be life threatening if you let it go too long...if you see him strain and nothing comes out that is not good...the good news here is that something is coming out. take him to the vet and he will get medication to clear it up and he should be fine....good luck!

Let us know what happens with this.......

We took him in yesterday, the vet says his bladder is "flat" which I guess is good. She didn't see any crystals, good again. So, she did give us an antibotic she said that for some reason, they find that even if cats don't have a UTI, the antibotics will help?? She sugguested a new food for unirary health, and we bought another litter box, so he now has 2.

Good news this this morning, I went down and checked and sure enough he went #1, in the new litter box! YEAH. We have to keep an eye on him to make sure he improves if not the vet of course wants to see him back.

Thanks everyone! Reny

Glad to help.

glad to hear that it's not crystals. Just stick with the new food and all should be good.

I'm thinking the extra litter pan might help too.

I have a male cat, that when he was a kitten used to use the potted plants in the house, for both #1 and #2. I also got an extra litter pan and he stopped. I guess he thought having only one was too dirty for him.

I have 3 cats and was told that you should have 1 more litter box than the number of cats, that way if one is dirty they can go to the other one. Doesn't seem to help in my situation, but I keep trying :)
