Peeing on trashbags!?!

She's had UTI's before so I am making her an appointment with the vet...but she has also been using her litterbox. I don't get it! Anyone ever have this problem???

i've had this problem with all of mine when they were kittens or new to my house... basically, keep everything off the floor, etc. until she gets used to using the litterbox only. for Java & Pixel, i also would physically move them if i saw them squat somewhere inappropriate. (Pixel actually used to pee on my pjs, which were of course on my bed

i had a plastic cover on the bed until this behavior ceased!) i think since all of mine began life outdoors, it just takes them awhile to get used to using a box. of course, it could be UTI also - but sometimes it's just habit. Java peed all over when she was in heat, then kept going in those same spots until i found the all & treated them.
