Our cat has made a second litter box of our spare bedroom, what can we do to
keep him from wanting to return to the room and urinating? The problem
originally came from bad litter box maintenance, but we have remedied that
problem. He just seems content on going in there when he places. He has
already destroyed 2 complete sets of bed linens.

1) Get rid of the cat
2) Buy a pit bull
3) close the damn door

You can do nothing to keep him from "wanting" but you can keep in from
"returning" by closing the door.

So why not close the door?

close the door and keep him out of that room altogether. Then you have to
completely eliminate any residual odor from the room. An enzyme cleaner may
eventually get rid of the smell but if you've tossed 2 sets of bed linens I
would imagine the mattress is toast.

You may eventually be able to let him back in once a long period of time has
passed which will break the habit and the odor is completely eliminated. Of
course this is dependent on you're continuing to keep his litter box clean
so he doesn't look for alternatives.

Put a plastic cover over the bed?
Put a *brand-new* litterbox into that room?

Closing the door is step 1. My cat was doing this on a stair landing
(she's diabetic and has some control problems) and besides cleaning
with the enzymatic cleaners mentioned here, I covered the landing with
a ScatMat which delivers a low-voltage (9v) shock when stepped on.
It doesn't hurt but sure kept her off of the steps.

In addition, some retraining might be in order. I carried her to the
litter box after each meal and now she goes immediately after eating
and pees right away.

You can find the Scat Mats on eBay.

The cat is returning to the SCENT .. Close the door.. eliminate the
scent it left. That will probably cost you a rug and anything else
fabric that it hit. But if it smells to the cat like its "spot" it'll
be back.. Consider a door closer..

Not exactly. A cat doesn't return to to scent unless it knows there are
others around, that are competitive. A cat, indoors without scenting by
others (esp. female) will NOT perform this behaviour.

If it's an indoor cat, keep others away, using humane methods.

I suspect a "powerplay", though - and this is a popular cat-tactic, when
they feel like they are powerless. Try some empowering of the cat without
diminishing yours. There are many web-resources available for this.

Put the cat in the oven for 1 hour at 450. Season to taste...

1. Get rid of the scent. Nature's Miracle is good.
2. Watch out for behavioral problems. Our Rocky (RIP) started peeing on
the bed at one point. By careful observation we determined he did it
every time he came asking for attention and we ignored him. All it took
to stop him was fifteen seconds of attention when he wanted it. Nephew
had a cat that would pee on the bed every time the big bully cat picked
on it; he had to give that one to a calmer home to stop the problem.

Both Kerry and Edwards announced their candidacy near the beginning of September,
2003, so let's only count votes before then. From January, 2003, to August, 2003,
Senator Edwards didn't vote 69 out of 320 opportunities (~22%) and Senator Kerry
didn't vote 182 out of 320 opportunities (~57%). http://www.mwilliams.info/archives/001349.php
