Refuses to use litter box

[christineann]

Hi guys!

My four year old male bun Wesley has recently become very stubborn where he likes to do his business. My girl bun (1 year old), is perfectly fine with using her litter box regularly. However, Wesley has decided to frequently pee on the bed (he’s a huge snuggler so there’s no getting him off of the bed), the couch, anything he likes and wants to mark as his own! In fact, just today he lifted his tail while sitting next to me, and I shoo’d him near his litter box. He hopped to right outside his box, turned around, looked at me, and peed on the floor!

He also has been drinking water a lot more than usual. I have a small portable heater on my night stand, and he loves to lay right in front of it. I try to remove him so that he doesn’t get too hot, but he immediately hops right back over and flops in front of the heat. I’m assuming this is why he is drinking excessively, but what could be the cause of his stubbornness with the litter box, and how can I re-train him? 

Thanks so much for your help

Here’s my boy 

P.S. 

He IS neutered

I’d suggest putting hay in the box. That about it. Did you recently wash anything, or put any new scents? Every time I wash my sheets, Bean marks them again
