Usually in cats, inappropriate urination has a medical cause, although not always. I would recommend having a urinalysis done. I would be suspicious of urinary crystals or kidney disease. If all of these factors are ruled out than there may be a behavioral component, but I would want to make sure first. Urinary crystals can lead to bladder stones, and require a dissolution diet. Kidney damage can be managed as well.
