Older Cat Started Spraying Inside?

My 11 year old male indoor cat, has recently started to spray all over my house. I've been single for 5 years and now have a new live in boyfriend. It is the only thing I can think of why he would feel threatened. How can I get him to stop?

This article goes into length addressing reasons why a cat might be peeing inside. It covers issues from illness to unsuitable litter boxes to territorial reasons: www.allfelinehospital.com/feline-inappropriate-elimination...

It is pretty typical for a cat to feel threatened or territorial by a new person in their space. Is there any chance that your cat has not been neutered? If not, you pretty much HAVE to have him neutered. Because he is probbly displaying typical male behaviour.

One thing that really helps threatened cats is to 'catify the space', which essentially means creating shelves and nooks above eye level for them to perch. In this way they no longer have territorial feelings and, if hey have adequate litter, they will most likely stop spraying. jacksongalaxy.com/.../catification-beautiful-cat-climbing...
