Cat pee on bed

I have a foster cat currently, we have had her for a week and a half and she’s doing great. She’s been using her litter tray for both poo and wee but yesterday when I got home from work I found a packet of cat food completely chewed up (I must have forgot to put it straight in the bed in a rush before work so she got hold of it and chewed it up) and there was a bug wet patch on the bed. Because the packet of food was on top of the wet patch I assumed it was gravy from the food as there was bits of food all over the bed. I sniffed it and it had no smell at all so i just washed the sheet and didn’t think anything of it.

Today, DP has just gone to get into bed and said the sheets are soaking and it’s gone straight through to the mattress. It can only be pee. The thing is though, she is also using her litter tray. I am cleaning her litter tray out twice a day, sometimes three times. So why would she use it sometimes then randomly go on the bed?

Mine used to pee when scared. Maybe she was frightened by a scary cat outside and ran away to your bed, that smells of you and a safe place, and wet her pants?

They pee on soft furnishings as a way of marking their territory - you’ll just need to keep her shut out of the bedroom.

As she is a foster and I have other cats, the bedroom is the only room she has access to 😔

It could also be stress at being shut away - lots of cats absolutely hate it.
