Inappropriate elimination

All of the articles I've read call peeing outside a litterbox "inappropriate elimination."

I call it, "WHY THE !#$%#$ is HAMILTON SPRAYING MY XBOX?"

Or the ever popular "WHO PEED ON THE CARPET?"

I've been having on-and-off again problems with various cats and their peeing. Sometimes it IS health related (like when Truman peed in the clean laundry or my photo box - he did have a blockage).

Truly, though, I just think it's "recreational peeing." Although vets and specialists across the internet insist that cats don't pee for revenge, spite, stress or just for fun - I have to disagree. Hamilton is truly having fun as he's now sprayed every bush in the back yard from what I can tell, and I can see by that glimmer in his eye, he's decided to tackle the inside as well. That would explain the Xbox, the cat post, most of the doors, and last night, my suitcase.

Bridgette, for whatever reason, hates her box and will pee only on carpeting. Her favorite target right now is in front of the TV. She's been triple- checked for infections, but I think she simply hates the litterboxes. Although she will use it to poop, so go figure. I guess she's just very discriminating - but this is really causing me to tear my hair out!

All of the cats are showing various signs of stress from everything that happened with Spott, but this really pre-dated Spott's illness.

I'm back to my original notion they just are having a lot of fun...
