Suggestions for why cat pees?

2-year-old male cat we've had since 4 weeks. We've had him fixed and kept him indoors. He suddenly wanted to go outdoors and started peeing on beds, couches, clothes, shoes. So we put him in a huge dog crate for the last year with his food and water and he goes in the litter box there. We just recently let him out and he seemed to be doing good until yesterday, he peed on the couch and this morning on the bed. I don't know what else to do for him - I don't want him to live his life in a cage!! He does use the litterbox sometimes. I almost think he's doing it out of spite to be let outside.

i had a cat that did that. please take him to the vet. he has a bladder problem and it could be serious. take him in b4 its to late to fix it. you could also try peewee pads. its for dogs i think but you could buy the little dogs one and put it on your cat. its a pad that goes on where they pee. you can change it regularly. your cat can only pee in that then. its supposed to be like a diaper for puppies in training but in your case... your cat could use it too.
Reply:sounds like the cat has a bladder problem. Why not take him to the vet if they cannot do anything for him/her you might want to get rid of the cat or get another one. Cat pee penetrates in everything and is not easy to get out.. the odor is horrendous!
Reply:Definitely sounds like a problem for a vet. I'm guess the places he's peeing are a certain distance from the closest litter box? If the vet confirms it, one thing that might help is multiple litter boxes so he can get to them in a hurry no matter where he is. Good luck!
Reply:He's a male. What did you expect? He's marking his territory. He'll get over it in time. I'm sure he'll still do it, but not nearly as badly.
