I have 5 cats (2 males, 3 females, all spayed/neutered). They all used to be indoor, but because they urinated everywhere, especially one that slept with me, we now keep them outside. I really miss them. Is there anyway to keep them from peeing without an expensive investment?

1How much is expensive? There are some litter additives that help.– Joanne COct 9, 2013 at 16:12

3Are they urinating on horizontal things (floors, counters, etc) or on vertical things (walls, etc)? Both? Those are distinct behaviors with different causes.– freiheitOct 9, 2013 at 20:15

2It'd be helpful to know what are they peeing on like @freiheit asked before– Just Do ItDec 10, 2015 at 15:35

Without fully knowing the situation, I would guess that this might actually be territorial spraying. Spraying isn't the same thing as pee (I'll spare the details). I hope someone has a better answer but I think chances are that with a mix of males and females, it is probably just too many cats for an indoor space.
To attempt to determine what the source of urine marking is, I recommend this ASCPA reference. There are a lot of possibilities and since this has a large scope I'm not sure it makes sense to repeat all that information here.
