I have another question/problem, probably unrelated to my last one.

As I mentioned before, my tortie Chirako has to spend most of her time
shut in my bedroom. She has her food, water, and litter in there, and
she sleeps with me on my bed.

When she was a kitten when I first got her in June of 2004, I had to
keep her in a pet carrier overnight a few times because we had some
walls being put up and lots of gyprock dust all over the place. She had
a few accidents in the carrier on the towel I put in for a soft bed.
Since then, she had felt it was ok to pee on cloth material and plastic
bags every so often. She'd pee in empty laundry baskets, full laundry
baskets and once she peed on the bed. It was odd, because she'd go in
her litterbox as well.

She stopped doing it, so I assumed she had outgrown it. I moved to a new
place, and when my husband came to visit at the beginning of october
(we're from different countries and I'm waiting for a visa, so we don't
live together at the moment) Chirako thought it was neccesary to pee on
his pillow. He came to visit again for a week at the end of November,
and he wasn't in the room five minutes when Chirako pissed on his
luggage bag, and then later on the bed between the two pillows again.

I'm not sure why she does this. They are not strangers to each other, my
husband got me Chirako during my two year stay with him. She didn't
start peeing solely on his stuff until the long separation. Is she
jealous that I'm spending more time with him than I am with her?

Does anyone have any suggestions to stop her from peeing outside the
box, especially on the bed? I cleaned the pee spots as best as I can,
sprayed them with a pet odor spray as well, but they start smelling
again. I never catch the smelly spots being wet again so I don't know if
she keeps peeing there or the original smell won't leave.

Our tourtoishell did that for awhile, stopped, started up again, we took up
the carpet. It was a REALLY old carpet, but there are sprays and other
solutions. I hope you don't have to as weird a way to deal with it.
