You.

   You posted awhile ago about this problem.  Try calling a animal
behaviorist if you cat has a clean bill of health if none of the
recommendations worked

No, she doesn't.

I seem to recall your posting here before about the same problem.

Did you take the advice given, and confine your cat to a smallish room with
bed and toys, box and food and water, going to visit him often? No rugs on
the floor.

He will go in his box to avoid walking or lying in  his own mess. Cats are
creatures of habit, so he will get used to going in his box. You let him
out, he does it again, you put him back in confinement.

Meanwhile, you leave the goddamned door to your bathroom closed.

My vet said, some cats simply prefer to pee on fabric.

Using the method above, we got my cat to stop using our dining room rug to
pee on. She no longer has to be confined--ever. And she never goes there.

They do make medication for your temper problem.   Maybe seeing a counselor
would help with those problems of control and inadequacy your are feeling.
Maybe join a group to talk about your feelings.  I would love to see how you
explain  to everyone how a cat who weighs less than you, has a smaller brain
than you is out thinking you and making you look like a fool having all
these temper tantrums running around your house.

I wonder if you are hearing voices yet?

I *ALWAYS* take the side of the cat (or child, or anyone else who can't
speak up for themselves or defend themselves against an aggressor).
Withholding food from him is cruel, and he can in no way associate that with
a past behavior.  Chasing him around the apartment brandishing a bath mat is
cruel, and he can in no way associate that with a past behavior.  Cats live
in the present and all he knows is that you are suddenly behaving cruelly
towards him for no reason (apparently *after* you got advice here about the
problem and completely ignored it).

There are a number of reasons why he may be urinating in an inappropriate
place.  Is he neutered?  If not he will spray his territory just like any
other healthy, intact tom would.  How do you know he doesn't have a urinary
tract infection, has he been seen by a vet and had his urine tested?  Has
the vet ruled out interstitial cystitis or a partial struvite crystal
blockage?  Has anything in the house or his routine been changed?  If so it
could be stress induced behavior.  Is the bath mat rubber-backed?  If so
there may be a chemical in the backing which smells like another tom's
marking and he wants to claim his house back.  You said you allow him
outside - are there other cats around that might make him feel threatened
and cause him to want to mark his territory?

And finally, if you have ruled out all of the above, why not just pick up
the f*cking mat and add another litter box close by?  If it's too hard for
you to understand your cat's needs and meet them, then do the cat a favor
and find him a good home.
