no strays and no additions.
I hope I don't sound rude as I appreciate your input. It's just we have thought of this stuff and exhausted so many possibilities.
Maybe I will try another brand of pebble litter and see what happens. I have tried to change his litter before thinking maybe he didn't like the litter. The only kind he absolutely would not go in at all, was the feline pine. The others he would go in the box but if you left something on the floor, he'd go on that too.

It still could be a litter issue.  The brand could have changed formulations.  Another possibility is another stray cat in the area....or a new addition to the household.
 
These sorts of behavioral problems are often stress related unless there is a medical problem:  infection, kidney problems, incontinence.

If he's peeing on stuff only if it is on the floor, and pooping outside the litter box is usually a sign the litter box isn't as clean as the cat would like and/or he doesn't like the brand of litter.  Have you changed brands recently?
 
If it's not infection, the litter box is the most likely culprit.  Particularly because he's only peeing on things left on the floor.  It may be that you need to try a different litter anyway even if it hasn't been changed recently.

I have a pee-er.
He is 14 and is marking/peeing on things. He has been tested for infection, etc.. nothing.
We can't leave anything on the floor: laundry on the laundry room floor, my kid's backpacks,toys, books, shoes. he doesn't just pee on the floor or carpet (actually has never peed on the carpet). But he will pee on an object left on the floor. It's behavioral..but we have no idea why. It started several years ago. But he would stop for long periods of time. Twice we attributed it to a stray that was hanging outside the house. We figured he was marking. The stray went away, the peeing stopped. Now he is back to it and on a daily basis. Well as long as we keep everything off the floor, he is fine. But he poops next to the litterbox or on the side of it at times too.
We are frustrated and on top of it.. gave away our other cat thinking it was him.
Long story..
anyway, any help is appreciated.
