Why does my female cat keep wetting on any item of clothing that is on the floor? My cats are very good about using the littler box, but lately Maggie (who I caught in the act, so now we know the culprit) wets on any item of clothing that is left on the floor. I scoop the cat box 2 times a day and have gone back to the regular litter we used. Why is she doing this?

Cats will do this if they have a kidney or bladder infection. They have no way of telling us what is wrong and it might feel better to pee on nice, soft cotton if they are inflamed? I suggest a trip to the vets. My step-mother told me years ago that cats should not be given fish or food with fish in it because it can cause cystitis (this may have only pertained to male cats, can't remember). I don't buy any cat foods that have fish products, just to be on the safe side. She also told me to watch the ash content in canned cat food, again, I can't remember why, etc. (long time ago!) but it did pertain to cystitis.
I also recommend a visit to the vet no matter what to be sure she's physically okay but could you tell us if there are any type of changes or stress in your household? Is perhaps someone treating her differently than what she's used to? Is there a new human or animal addition in the home? If a cat does urinates on clothing it could mean an infection and/or that she is really upset about something.
I once had a cat, Niki, who never urinated outside of her box but then when I had a young lady move in temorarily because she had no other place to live my cat started urinating on clothing or towels left on the floor.
