Cat peeing/marking problem?

Question

I live in a house with my cat, another cat, and a dog. I also live with a husband and wife, my boyfriend, and then there's me (the cat's owner, a woman). For a while my cat would pee on any clothes or fabric surface he could find, we found out he had a uti and we treated it. He stopped peeing on things for a while but now for the past month and a half he's been targeting the other guy (the husband) that lives here. He leaves his clothes on the floor and the second their bedroom door is left open and unattended, my cat goes straight for his clothes and pees all over them. Today his clothes got moved to his bed, so my cat peed on his bed!!! I've bought two extra litter boxes, the other animals are not allowed in my bedroom (only him, and sometimes the other cat but only when my cat's okay with it), and the guy he's targeting isn't really mean to him or anything. Why's he peeing on his clothes????? He doesn't pee on anything else, we can go weeks without him peeing on something as long as the other couple's bedroom door is always closed.

UTI probably came back. Feed him grain free diet ONLY. Wellness, Merrick is really good for cats. Keep him OFF fish. Fish causes crystals in male cats. Purina, Fancy Feast, Meow Mix are horrible brands. I know those brands are cheap but it will cause you big vet bills in the future. Grain free cat food is expensive but it will save you from vet bills. I have a cat who is 10 and I fed him grain free diet all his life and I never had to take him to vet. Only for his yearly check up and shots. You'd be surprised to see the change once you put him on grain free diet. Take him to the vet tho to be sure what's wrong with your fur baby.

UPDATE: Feed him LOTS of wet food. Seems like your cat doesn't drink enough water. Mix some water with your cat's wet food as well.

He could have urine crystals or UTI did you switch your cats food to one that promotes urinary heath? I use one by purina called Purina One Urinary Heath it is relatively non expensive. He could be trying to get your attention .Also Cat diabetes could be the cause, I thought it was a behavior issue with my cat until he got blocked and spent 6 days at the vets ICU. Male cats are prone to UTI's and Urinary crystals because they have a smaller urethra He maybe peeing outside the litter box because he associates it with pain. Once you rule out a heath problem lock him up in the bathroom with a litter box for an hour every time he does it but only if you catch him doing it or very soon after, Considering the past UTI I reallly think it is medical.
