I am not sure which one, though I think it is my 10 year old male tabby. I found the first urine on the tile floor just in a puddle. I thought at first someone had spilled coke. The second urine was discovered a few hours later on a piece of clean white laundry that was on my bedroom floor. None of the cats are acting strangely that I can see. What could it be?

Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease. Get him to a vet pronto!
Cats urinating outside of the litterbox could be many things, as simple as the fact the litter box isn't being cleaned enough to their tastes, to the fact that they do not wish to share the box with other cats -- to the first warning signs that something SERIOUS is wrong.
Given the unusual color of your cat's urine, I am strongly urging you to take him to the vet.
Male cats, especially fixed male cats, are notorious for having crystals in the bladder, as well as urinary track infections and issues with Kidney's.
It's a mix of simply genes, and not enough water being taken in by the cat.
Some male cats suffer simple blockages that, without proper and simple treatment, turn fatal!
So, best bet is for you to take the little brown-pee-man into the Vet.
Often, one does not know something is seriously wrong with an animal because they appear to behave normally. By the time you start seeing symptoms, it may be too late. :/
I hope all goes well, whatever you decide!
Are you sure it doesnt have blood in it???
I really strongly suggest taking it to the vet ASAP...both of them!!
Try and get a sample...not easy but ...give them a clean litter tray each and lock them in a seperate room each. Put small pebbles like in an aquarium (but new and clean) you dont have to fill the tray with them. then once they have gone put the pee into sample jars with their names on them (not the pebbles they are just for the cat to scratch). Get the urine tested and the cats checked out.
doesnt sound good..have you changed litter recently??
Good Luck~!
could be a urinary tract infection, stones/crystals in the kidneys or bladder, kidney problems, def something is wrong in the urinary tract system. you need to take your kitty in for some lab tests. best of luck.
check ur 10 yr olds penis and if the tip is red he is more likely the one.
this sounds to me as urine crystals almost lost two of our males to this and it was due to thier diets they had enough water but fed them purina cat chow. my vet advised us to start buying friskies cat food and havent had problems since.
another idea is to watch them closely and note when they urinate and check it. even though the litter is in the pan u can still make out the color as they use it.
in any case please contact the vet asap this is life threatening for the cat.
This cat is trying to bring this to your attention any way it can, by peeing where you would notice it. The cat realizes something is wrong and its up to you to take him/her to the vet NOW. Brown urine usually means blood, and no good can come of that.
You need to take it to the vet it sounds like a urinary tract infection good luck
It sounds like a urinary tract infection to me, but you need to get your cat to the vet ASAP. This could be something very serious. Brown urine is definitely a bad sign.
Take your at to the vet ASAP! Today if possible. He may have a urinary track infection. My male cat gets them. Crystals will form in the urine and they could create a blockage which could turn out to be a bad thing.
Most cats are put on antibiotics and they are better within days. Your cats issue sounds a bit more advanced. The reason he is peeing outside the litter box and on sheets is to let you know that something is wrong and it hurts when he pees.
