Have to imagine that her problem is one of two things. Behavioural or
medical. It's best to rule out a medical problem first.

How many cats and how many litter boxes do you have?

If you have one box per cat you should consider adding a few more if you
find out the reason for her peeing isn't as a result of a medical issue.

My little old moggie does this too on occasions. Poor thing has recurring
bouts of cystitis. When she gets it she likes to pee on anything. Doesn't
matter whether it's clothes, newspaper, anybody's bed, carpet etc. When
she's gotta go, she goes - anywhere!

I was saying to hubby a couple of days ago that she hadn't had a bout for
over a year. I woke up this morning to find her crouching above my head and
peed on my pillow! So it's off to the vet's tomorrow for her
antibiotic/steroid jab.
