Other then getting rid of him. My cat, if the liter box is dirty which is about 2 days will pee on anything material on the floor. Or on the couch. But thats not all, if I don't pay him enough attention when I get home, like I went straight to bed one time after work. He actually peed on me.
The other thing is he claws my furniture despite the fact that I yell at him, and sometimes he won't even quit then and since he'd move if I got up to get him I have to throw something at him to get him to quit.
I've tried since I got him to keep him off the table and counters, and he gets really jelous of my other older kitty and attacks her if she gets any attention.
I love this cat, because he's the kind thats really hard to love, but surprisingly affectionate. But I need to gain control! Any suggestions?

You need a water bottle or squirt gun, with a long stream, to shoot across the room. Yell as you squirt.

You also need a second littler box . . . at least one per cat, and perhaps a third one for the one who'll go anywhere.

The key to teaching cats is to be more patient than the cat, which is nearly impossible!

Don't get rid of him! or I'm going to cry lol :( Please just make sure to clean the litter box every 2 days or so like I do, yes it can be hard sometimes, I get tired after work and school but I still manage to do it. I was laughing reading this because I have 3 cats that are just the same as you described. They will purposely urinate on my floor, clothes, etc if I do not clean it right away. All you can really do is clean the litter box on time so that he won't get messy, also, when you see him scratching your things pick him up and gently say "no, no" it has worked foe me, they know that no means something bad. I admire you for being such a great mom and thank you for taking them in and loving them, it's not easy work, I do the same everyday. Take care of the babies for me, gl!

That cat has a real problem. Cats are usually great house pets for people who work. You can try toys, scratching post, try using a different type of kitty litter or try shredded news paper. Keep his litter box clean. Cats don't train well they are either well behaved or not he's not.
