It's making my whole house stink, and there's not much that smells worse than Cat piss. My other Cat never does it. How do I get him to go in his litter box? I love my Cat but not when he's relieving himself on my goddamn bathroom door!

There are several good products you can buy to clean up after your cat and neutralize the smell. Nature's Miracle and Shout to name two. I assume we are talking about a neutered male. If he is a Tom then get him neutered ASAP ! Also a 50-50 mix of white vinegar and water is effective and deters future sprays. It seems you are talking about SPRAYING and not urinating.
Spraying is what male cats do to mark their territory and in response to stress. They spray vertical objects like doors. In the wild ( aka outdoors ) they like trees, bushes , fenceposts etc. There are plug in pheromone products that help to mellow and destress your cat.
Piss on it yourself; mark it as YOUR door, not his.
I'm assuming he's neutered?
how often do you clean the litter box?
how many litter boxes do you have?
have you recently changed the brand of litter?
Also maybe go to the vet. If it's happening all of a sudden it could be because of a bladder infection.
Jackson Galaxy has some videos on this (search youtube)
He is a Rescue (both of them are) so they are Neutered. I think that since I go in there, that's where he thinks he's supposed to go. But it's only Galahad, never Lancelot. The Cats have basically their own room, with two litter boxes on opposite sides of the room, and Galahad always shits in his, but he pisses on my BATHROOM DOOR. I want to reiterate that Lancelot NEVER does this. He's a good boy and NEVER goes outside his litterbox. Maybe I should get Gally to the vet. Good idea.
LOL!!!
I believe you had a similar post a while back.
You close your bathroom door off and your cat is emulating you. He wants to use the bathroom like his favorite human pet. Train him to use your toilet or put a litter box in there. Maybe take him to the vet to make sure he’s good health wise.
Your cat wants you to open the door but since you’re hardheaded he will piss on the door hoping you eventually get the clue.
Galahad chews on Plastic Bags as well (really any plastic), which gets on my nerves because he's gonna choke himself! I don't know what the fuck it is but he does it.
Lancelot is all over the house searching for stuff or hiding under the sink. And if you're a Mouse you'd better fucking beware, Lancelot will hunt you down and KILL you and eat you (or place your dead body, or half dead body, in my MOUTH while I'm sleeping, trust me... all of a sudden there's something moving around in my mouth and I GO THREE FEET IN THE AIR and Lancelot is sitting there staring at me). He's the hunter. I just thought I'd brag a little about Lancelot. He's a cool Cat as well. Birds as well! I don't know how he catches Birds but i see him walking around with Birds in his mouth. At least i don't wind up with BIRDS in MY Mouth.
They're both Black Main Coons. So pretty big Cats.
BTW Galahad is a sleepy Kitty, the little fucker sleeps all the goddamned day, when he's not pissing on my Bathroom Door!
Lancelot is just following Rule 5 of the Cat's Handbook : " Show appreciation to your owner. A small rodent or dead bird left on the doorstep says : ' I care. ' ". My cats are big on Rule 7 : "Choose your own places to sleep. Baskets of fresh, warm laundry make for the perfect nap." Love their names btw and Maine Coons are very cool cats.
Try a pheromone plug in. It mellows them out and might help with the spraying. I'm wondering if it's a rivalry thing with Lancelot ? Boy cats spray to mark territory. Do they play and sleep together ?
They sleep together in a big ball, you can hardly tell one from the other, but I don't know about playing together. Galahad's usually knocked out. Sometimes, but he's usually unconscious.
There's cat repellent for furniture, to stop them from scratching it. Maybe it would also stop him from spraying it.

Maybe rub some orange/lemon/grapefruit peels against the door. Cats hate the smell of these. It will: 1) disgust your cat from the door; 2) bring nice citrus scent instead of cat pee scent
Also, maybe he tries to find the Holy Grail this way?
Very funny. Nice to know you know your Arthurian Mythology. I named them out of Le Morte D'Arthur, which is a book that you practically need a WHEELBARROW to carry around it's so thick. I read it a few times and it seemed to suit my Cats. Weird punctuation in that book, though. It's all "!" and never "?" or anything else. I guess in the fifteenth century they just didn't punctuate.
Growing up with 9 cats and living with someone who could not help themselves from taking in stray cat after stray cat to the point of me being their care giver, there are reasons for the cat pissing around the house. I gave them their own area to pee and would gently dig their paws into the litter, they would stand there for a minute, debate the feeling and start doing so themselves, then jump out and bolt wherever.
It also depends on how the inside of your house is setup and if the cat has its own territory to be away from others. It takes a long time to encourage a spot to pee, but I recommend a large sand box that can fit a decent amount of kitty litter, perhaps even changing brands to see which feel fits for that cat, as not all will prefer the same grit.
Paint the door with ketchup

Um, no. I hate Ketchup even more that I hate Cat piss. Assuming this wasn't just a teasing post. Looks like it, though.
Get this, I started leaving the bathroom door open to try and stop him, so now he goes and pisses on the BATHTUB. I can't seem to win here! If he wasn't so goddamed cute I'd be furious with him.
^Lol!
Can you put a Litter box in that bathroom?
How old is your cat?
^thats the contraption I recommended he get several posts ago
Raziel is too stubborn to listen to his smart cat
I'm ready to do anything at this point.
Would you believe I don't know? Like I said, he's a rescue Cat my friend went and took (along with two hundred other Cats that were all living in a BARN in Illinois). He's probably eight. But there's no way to be certain. When they got to me they were still Kittens, but older Kittens.
