We have a male cat that we got at 6 months old and has been a great cat until the past few months, he has decided to start peeing in different places, how can I get him to stop!

Hi
Depends very much on why and how he is peeing. Is he squatting to pee or is he standing up and squirting pee with his tail quivering? Has he been castrated? If not have him done as soon as possible. If he is castrated he may be marking his territory as he has become anxious about something, perhaps another cat outside or you telling him off for peeing in the house. There are many reasons why he might be doing this and I would suggest if he has been castrated that you contact your nearest qualified companion animal behaviourist to find out why? This is important as once they start to do this for whatever reason it can become a conditioned response and he will keep on doing it.
Best wishes
