There are several reasons why cats urinate in inappropriate places.
-Needs Training
If kitty is a new addition to the family, you may have to spend some time showing her where the litter box is and how to scratch around in it.
The little one won't know that's where you would prefer she go to the bathroom if you don't mention it.
While she is in training, keep the litter container in one location. This will help her get used to it and develop a routine.
-Painful Health Problem
It could be a health problem like UTI or Urinary Tract Infection. UTI makes it painful for him to pee anytime, so he may find it more comforting to urinate on something soft. Soft like the carpet, bed or laundry pile. (Of course the fresher the better).
Please see a animal health care professional and explain what's going on. The veterinarian will help tabby get relief and the proper care.
-Stress
Change causes stress. If you are moving, just moved or will move, this change is major to a cat. Spend time with her to reassure her.
Putting her in a separate area while all the commotion of moving is going on and relocating her to the new place after items have been put in place may help lessen the stress.
It will also work her nerves if the litter-box is in a busy area. If there is a lot of traffic and noise, she won't feel comfortable using the box and will find somewhere else to go.
-Marking
If you didn't thoroughly clean it, the area may have the scent of a previous weeing episode still lingering. If he can smell the old urine he will remember it as a relaxing place to pee.
Work with kitty to understand why he or she is doing this and you will be better able to adjust the behavior appropriately.
3 Basics Of Complete Cat Care. (part 3) As Revealed In An Interview With N'greeta The Cat.
Cat Grooming
Complete cat care means proper grooming is a must. When a cat feels pampered, their coat seems to glow and they return the love.
If your feline is longhaired, keep it combed to help remove debris. If kitty is shorthaired, see to it that you get rid of fleas and other parasites. Either way use the time to pet and bond with them.
Hygiene
A litter container is an item that contributes to the comfort of Queen or King Tabby and a clean home for you.
Preferably, put the container in a ventilated area with privacy. Just because they want to come into the bathroom when you are in there does not mean they like to be disturbed during this time. "Being curious, checking things out is what I do. But I likes my privacy" noted N'greeta.
These 3 items are just the basics of complete cat care and improve not only the health of the cats in our lives but also the fun time we have with them.

Cat Food
Part of complete cat care is feeding them a well-balanced meal. Varying it between different flavors and wet and dry foods are a nice treat by making the meal interesting.
Keep plenty of fresh drinking water available. Especially in a wide enough bowl, this will allow them to drink comfortably and still watch their surroundings. "I like looking around, staying alert. Just in case I have to make a quick getaway," says N'greeta.
Have a little cat or wheat grass around for them to nibble on. Adding this to their diet from time to time is said to aid in their digestion.
