I don't have any suggestions for suppressing the in-corner peeing, but we
had to train our youngest cat not to mess on the floors. At that time we
read that they will react favorably (in that they will stop doing it) if
you take the cat and lightly stuff its nose into the pile, say "NO!", and
then take it to the litter box, depositing the mess there and covering
it up with the litter. (this, of course, requires a pooper-scooper) You'll
probably encounter some resistence to the first step, but after a week or
so, you'll find that you aren't doing it much anymore, and after a month
or so, none at all. If you decide to use this method, good luck...
