Cat pooing on bed

How do I stop it before my husband insists we rehome?!

I've had two littermates since they were 12 weeks old. They are now 7. We recently had a loft conversion and one of my cats has taken to spraying urine around the perimeter of the new room. She also peed on our brand new bed a couple of times.
I have a feliway plug in in the room and have been spraying feliway spray around.

I'm trying to keep the door shut but my husband is always forgetting and every time I find pee up the wall. The whole room now smells of cat urine deodoriser and it's annoying that the new carpet, bed and walls are being ruined.

As a new addition this week one of the cats has taken to pooing on beds. At first it was mine. I thought it was an accident as it was a small smudge. The next day there were what appeared to be four or five circles of brown stuff. I wasn't sure if it was poo or sick. I've managed to keep the cats out for the past three days but for each of those days one of them has done the same to my young sons bed. What the hell is she doing this for? I can't be certain but think it's one cat doing all of this. I took both to the vet as I thought one of them maybe had diarrhoea hence the pooing outside the litter tray. Both are apparently fine.

It's impossible to keep my sons door shut as it's an old house and the doors don't shut fully. My son is now in my old room but it's the same carpet I had and my sons same furniture - so no new smells really.

Also today my bedroom door was left open and again I come in to urine sprayed up the wall.

This is driving me mad! What can I do to stop it? The only place I can shut the cats away is in the conservatory but they would bake. But I can't change beds everyday and I'm really sick of my house stinking like cat piss. Please help Confused

Oh God I hope it's not possible! I'm not sure what else to suggest other than the Zylkene and total control. What a horrible situation!

They are litter mates who used to adore each other and sleep curled up together. Since moving to a house with outside access 5 years ago they no longer associate. There's some hissing occasionally but mostly they ignore each other.
We moved to this house 2 years ago and have done various works constantly since we moved in. This has never happened before and the latest round was minor compared to the past!

It's the dominant one I caught peeing in my bedroom in front of me. That's the only time I have seen it. So I am assuming it's the same cat doing it all - but could be wrong!

My bedroom is covered in bicarbonate if soda in a last ditch effort to absorb the smell. The urine neutralisers all smell just as bad as the urine to me!

Forgot to say that my sons bed is in what used to be my bedroom. It's a room both cats spent a lot of time sleeping during the day. Could the pooing on his bed be some sort of protest at the fact my bed is no longer there for them?!?!

Do cats protest?? 😂
