ok, soooo I got a new baby, now THAT new because I have her since July lol but she has this thing where she loves to pee on dirty clothes, and whenever I place the dirty clothes where she can’t reach it, she pees on her bed, if I take her bed away, she pees on the scratcher, if I throw the scratcher away, she pees on my other cats box (she loves boxes more than any bed or cat condo). She has the Vet’s ok so I know she is heathy, I tried around 4, 5 types of litter (clumping, non-clumping, pine, crystals, lightweight). I’m out of options at this point. I’ve been reading the other topics but nothing that’s specifically my case. Any tips? Oh, I tried feliway too.

I’ll leave a picture of my little brat, I can’t even be mad at her lol

Try different litter boxes (covered/uncovered and ensure theyre 1.5 times the length of your cat-tip of the nose to the base of the tail) and locations (Each should be placed where a cat can use it as an aid in maintaining her territory. Each should be in a different room. They should be easy to access. They should not be in small, enclosed areas that do not have multiple escape routes. They should be kept away from food and water. ) there should also be 1 more litter box than number of cats
hope some of this helps

Try a corn- or walnut-based litter, just for fun. They are fairly inexpensive, clump very well, and are extremely soft under a cat's foot. Since she's seeking out soft places to piddle, it might just do the trick.

Since she is apparently pooping in her box, you could try an extra box with puppy pads in it...they would feel very much like fabric under her feet.

That seems helpful! They have more than one litter and they are all different, covered and uncovered, but I’ll try moving the litter, maybe she just doesn’t like going outside when she can pee in the comfort of our house haha thanks!

Never heard of the corn/walnut ones! I’ll definitely try that, thank youuu

Did the vet run urine tests?
Yea she had a complete check up and nothing really came up. Maybe it’s just behavioral but I’m running out of ideas, guess I’ll keep washing everything because I can’t be mad with her adorable sensitive soul lol I mean, it bothers me but it’s not the end of the world either.

Did she have an UTI when it first started back in July?

Here's an except from our TCS article Litterbox Problems? Here's Why You Should Call Your Vet.

"So, you've taken your cat to the vet who could find no sign of either a bacterial infection or crystals in the urine? No sign of any other illness either. Now what? With a clean bill of health, should we assume this is a behavioral problem?

Not necessarily.

There is one type of urinary tract inflammation that can be difficult to detect and even more difficult to treat. It's sometimes called the Pandora Syndrome, but officially it's known as Feline Idiopathic Cystitis, or FIC for short. "

More info continues in the article. Maybe something to mention to your vet.

Maybe it’s just behavioral but I’m running out of ideas, guess I’ll keep washing everything because I can’t be mad with her adorable sensitive soul lol I mean, it bothers me but it’s not the end of the world either.
It's not the "end of the world" but it's not a desirable thing either. Here are a few more TCS articles that might be helpful:

Inappropriate Peeing, Spraying, Toy Obsession And Leg And Hand Nipping

Also, do ensure you wash the bedding with an enzyme cleaner, otherwise she may still be able to smell her urine scent.

That was informative!
Thank you so much, really hope it’s not the infection :(
She seems so playful and happy the entire time but who knows what’s going on right? I might invest on a different vet then.

Again, thank you so much ☺

I'm confused it sounded as though the litter boxes are outside the house - on a porch maybe? If so that's all the territory she can claim and it's more open to strange animals. They don't have to be there to frighten her, they just need to have walked by hours and hours ago. A tom maybe spraying in the far corner of your yard that'd do it.

If she pees on your bed, I'd absolutely put a litter box in your bedroom. If you clean it out at least once a day, you won't smell it. If both cats decide that's the one they want to use, clean it twice a day. You won't smell it, they will. Anyone who complains, needs to get more in touch with their primal natural selfves. ;)

Yeah, if those boxes are outside, I would seriously consider one inside. Most of their scent is inside, so that's their main territory, and an inside box may solve the whole issue.
