One of my pets is peeing on my bed while I’m at work. I’m not sure if it’s the dog actually peeing or my unnuetered make cat spraying. Is there a way to tell? Pet's info: Dog | American Staffordshire Terrier | Female | 50 lbs

Cat urine typically smells very distinct. The only way to tell for sure would be to separate them and see if the urination continues. I would advise to neuter the cat if he is 5-6months of age or older (as he will begin to spray). I would also advise to take the offending pet in for a urinalysis to rule out an infection. I hope this helps!
