thank you for the info. i read all the reviews and only one person (i think out of a hundred) gave it a one star. i will for sure order this and hope it helps along with another litter box. i talked to the owner the apartment complex and she said that the people around here are feeding the stray cats so thats why there is so many around here

Does the bath mat have a rubber back? Sounds funny but there was something about that smell that set off one of my cats. He would always pee on it. Drove me nuts until I switched to a non rubber backed mat.

As for cleaning, Nature's Miracle makes an Urine Destroyer that is amazing. http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Urine-Destroyer-Quart/dp/B003...

It really great rid of the urine smell.

As others have said rule out a UTI. If his urine comes back clean there are a few other things you can try. First use an enzymatic cleaner to clean up, such as Nature's Miracle. This will get rid of all the urine scent so he won't go back to that place again. Next buy a Feliway diffuser. It is a calming phermone that you plug in the wall, humans can't smell it. I have a cat that sprays inside when there are changes or stress in the house. I recently moved to a new house that had a resident cat and was really worried about how my first cat would react. I put a diffuser in the living room and he has not marked once since we moved. I buy mine on Amazon. From Petsmart or a vet they usually run $40-$50 for the diffuser and one refill. Online you can probably get them for closer to $30. A refill usually lasts 2 months or so. I have just kept mine plugged in since it has no scent but is clearly helping. I bought 2 refills on Amazon for about $20 I think (can't remember).

I have a cat who gets stress-induced UTI's and she'll pee everywhere, including on the kitchen counters :(.   I have tried absolutely everything made (I think!) by now, including Nature's Miracle, Simple Solution, Ewww, peroxide, vinegar, and crying (just kidding).    Here's what worked for me:

Comfort Zone plug-ins.  They are not cheap, but they do work far far better than the sprays as it is a constant stream of happy pheromones.  You can also give a wee spritz around the windows or doors where you've seen other cats pass by, just for good measure.  But the plugins are golden.

Rescue Remedy in the water or in the food.  Get the kind made for pets

Dumb Cat----this is the ONLY product I have found that actually does anything toward breaking up the urine crystals.   They sell it in Petsmart and Petco.   Everything else I tried she ended up going back to the spot.   Unlike a lot of other things too it can be used after you've tried other things.   So, if you clean up the pee, and douse it with white vinegar, or rug cleaner, then you spray this, it will still work.  

Dr Elsey's Cat Attract litter---again, not cheap, but if he is at all avoiding the litter box, this makes him want to use it.

Good luck.  It's good he doesn't have any health issues associated.   But behavioral things are always a challenge.
