2 yr old Tom cat peeing on carpet.
I wonder if someone can give me some advice please? I always get great info on here so when 'google' couldn't help me, DS was my first port of call.
I have a 2 yr old Tom cat, neutered, gentle nature. Recently I have smelt cat urine around the house but, as I have 3 cats in total, I never knew which one was not using the trays.
Today I caught my male cat peeing under a side table in my living room. He peed up against the wall which is strange and I've also noticed puddles if urine under the litter trays when I've been cleaning them. (I just put those down to bad aim!)
Google says things like dirty tray, new litter etc but none of these things can apply as I've used the same litter since I got the cats and clean the 3 trays daily.
One thing that sounded vaguely relevant was him marking his territory - the peeing against the wall is a sign - but apparently this is mostly common in cats that are not neutered, whereas he is.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I'm getting really fed up living in a house that smells of cat pee......,
Thank you in advance
P.s. My other two cats are females aged 1&3, all cats get on great, always have done.

sorry my post was almost identical to the one above
Ok I'll take him down to the vets for a check up. Can the vet tell if it is a urinary infection?
He is an outdoor cat and there are a few others in the neighbourhood but I haven't seen any new/unfamiliar ones. But I will keep my eyes open.
great minds think alike
Yes but in multi cat households it can happen too, especially if there is a change or some shift in status it's normally the low ranking cats that do it
Thank you for the replies by the way, appreciate them.
