my cat keeps peeing on everything but only sometimes he will pee in his litter box is this a sereous problem?

There is a very good chance this is a medical condition. This is what most cats do when they have a problem. Since they can’t talk, it’s the only way they have to tell you something is wrong. Now it’s your turn to act on the information she is providing you and resolve the problem, whatever that may be.

Factors Contributing to Inappropriate Elimination

• Medical Conditions: Cats avoiding the litter pan should be examined by a veterinarian to rule out a medical condition. Laboratory tests will need to be performed in most cases, however, if a condition does exist, immediate treatment will help resolve the behavioral problem. Possible medical conditions include: colitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, kidney or liver disease, or feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD). Medical conditions such as arthritis, FLUTD, anal sac disease, and some forms of colitis, which cause pain urinating or defecating may also result in inappropriate elimination

• Stress: Cats of all ages experience stress at some point in their lives (just like us). Stress can be a major cause of inappropriate elimination, and known stressors such as moving, changes in routine, or changes within the family structure (new members added or family members leaving home) can result in inappropriate elimination. Reducing these stressors or decreasing their impact on the household will benefit your cat and you, too.

• Box Location & Contents: Some cats may not like where their box is located; too close to their food or water, in a high traffic area, or on a different level of the house than where they spend most of their time. Some cats are very particular and will not defecate in the same box in which they urinate or go into a box which has been used by another cat. Most cats do not like a dirty litter box. Clean out waste from their litter boxes at least once daily, and wash the litter boxes weekly so that they don’t decide to eliminate elsewhere in your home.

Your cat may have a urinary infection. This same thing happened to one of my cats. It actually peed on one sofa, and we couldn’t figure out why. We took her to the vet and he gave her some antibiotics. Now my cat uses the liter box again. I would recommend seeing a vet. Have a good day.

I had the same problem with my female cat. She also had a urinary infection. She even peed on the bed a few times which is pretty gross. After the infection cleared up, she used her box again. Un-neutered male cats will “mark” as well. This is a territory issue. It’s another good reason to have cats fixed. Do check with your vet. Good luck. This is a hard problem to deal with for sure.
