Hi Jennifer,
why don't you try some reverse psychology and not give him
the attention he's been getting. OR perhaps you could throw a
cheerio or two in there and see if he can pee on them. Don't
give up, keep trying different things until you find one that
works. It really is not that important when you think of all
the other things that are. Best wishes, Deb
