Question
My cat has recently developed a habit of peeing on clean clothes in laundry baskets or the rugs in my bathroom.  I have had her for 6 years and she never did anything like this.  Our area has recieved a ton of snow lately and I think she misses going outside.  Is there anything that I can do to stop this?  If she had a pysical problem wouldn't the spots be more random?  

Answer
Cats usually pee in weird places when they are trying to tell you something. One of the thing she might be telling you is that she is not feeling well.

Many times when an owner brings in a cat that has been doing there the cat has a bladder infection or cystitis.

The best thing to do is always make sure nothing physical is wrong by having her examined by your vet. If she is fine then you can ask him why she might be doing this suddenly.

90% of the time, however, it is a problem she is having, not just a behavioral issue.
So get her looked at then you will know for sure what is going on.
