8 mo's is probably too young to have hyperT; possible
but highly improbable. When mine started peeing on
things, when I brought a new kitty home, I had to
retrain them to use the box. I put them in the
bathroom, and that's where they stayed for two weeks
with their litter box and food. It worked. Also,
make sure Midnight does not have a UTI (urinary tract
infection). A symptom is peeing outside of the litter
box.
