How do I stop my cat from peeing where he isn't supposed to pee?

We just retiled behind our bar and either one or both of the cats keep peeing back there. I keep mopping and pouring bleach, but they still keep doing it.

Is there something I can use to deter them from wanting to go back there- does anyone have a spray they recommend? I am at my wits end with them!

Thanks

Update:

I clean their box everynight.

    (PETSMART sells LOTS of different sprays) Some pet stores sell a special spray that can keep him away from they spot. All you have to do is spray it at that spot and he won't go there. Also, in the meantime, when he does pee where he is not supposed to, pick him up and sternly say "No". Then take him and put him in the litter box, he will soon get the idea that he should go to the bathroom in there.

    One more thing... your cat may have a bladder infection. Cats are known to pee outside of the litterbox when they have a bladder infection. If the peeing outside the litterbox persists, and my other two suggestions don't work; take them to the vet. Good luck!

    Either put a clean cat box back there or put them out the door.

    Well maybe close the door to the bar room or something to keep them out

    good luck

    Don't spray ammonia..... toxic for any animal.... their pee is ammonia..... its not gonna do the trick.... take them to the vet and make sure they don't have any urinary problems..... then honestly.... sense they are old.... doubt that rubbing their nose in it or scolding is going to work. try a small litter box.... just for that purpose...

    Try placing the litter box on top of the spot or maybe put a fav. toy of theirs they canot move back there.

    Depending on how old your cats are, they may have diabetes, causing them to urinate more often, and if you fail to clean the sandbox, they may refuse to use it, which seems to be the case.

    spray ammonia where they are going where they are not supposed to (it's smelly, but it works)
