I've had my cat for just under a year. When I first got her she had a problem with peeing on things. She liked to pee in my laundry and on my bed and other places similar to this. However, the vet said it was just her reaction to change and that it would stop. It did. However, recently she started peeing on clothing again. My laundry room is in the basement and the only other things down there are in storage. If it were just me, I'd simply not leave clothing down there. However, my roommate leaves her clothes down there all the time, and my cat is peeing on them. She insists that I spank her when she does this, but I feel that she wouldn't be doing this if she could avoid it. Is this normal and how do I make her stop?
