Peeing!

I know a couple people who have cats both male and female that pee in the house, on clothes, the floor, anywhere.
I adopted a mentally unstable cat from the SPCA who hung himself (somehow with a 20 foot leash) 2 days after adopting him. Its been a month and Im thinking about getting another cat (with a harness this time) But I WILL NOT have a cat that pees anywhere other than its litter box. My cat did go in the litter box but else where also.

Any ideas?

I don't think I understand your point or question?

How to get them to use the litter box only/why they would go else where in the house.

Cats instinctively use the litter box. When you get your next cat, just show him/her where the box is, make sure you get a good litter like Fresh Step and you'll be all set. A cat peeing else where just means there are either health problems involved or behavioral issues related or caused by external factors such as stress from kids, a new animal, moving, another cat roaming around, or you or anyone in the house experiencing hormonal changes  , for instance, you getting pregnant.
