 JP> little urine spots all over the house, with or without

Laundry, a stack of newspapers, the bathmat, etc, etc...
And if it helps to take it any better, they do this because
(Speaking from a human perspective, but what do we know?)
after the first few tries in the litterbox, and particularly
if they are experiencing painful urination, they begin to
associate the pain and lack of success WITH the litterbox.
So they try else/everywhere.  On the other hand and brighter
side, mine have always gone back to the litterbox after a
cure was affected.  :)
