If you haven't seen your vet for this problem I would recommend making an appointment for Gizmo to rule out a medical problem. She could have a urinary tract infection or cystitis and checking a urine sample would be a good idea. If a medical problem has been completely ruled out then it's possible that this is a behavioral issue. It is not as common for female cats to urine mark but Gizmo will still have hormones for several weeks following the spay surgery so it could be a bit longer before you would see improvement if she is acting territorial.
