Peeing on my bed

I'm sitting here in tears and frustration because for the third time "someone" has peed on my bed. The first time was this last week, then again today. I had just spent the day washing all the bedding (including a mattress cover, sheets, blanket and comforter) and had put it all back on my bed (for the 2nd time this week) just a couple of hours ago and was getting into bed when I felt it, the wetness. I had to strip the bed again and throw it all back down into the laundry room.
I now know it's not the dogs. They were the first ones I blamed but it couldn't have been one of them tonight because they can't jump up on the bed by themselves and this happened before I even got into the bed. So it has to be one of the cats.
What I don't get is why one ot them is peeing and why on my bed! I wouldn't think they'd be able to smell anything lingering as I washed everything and the mattress is waterproof because it's a kingsize air mattress with a cover.

So now that I've got it narrowed down to one of the two cats, is there a way to figure out which one or do I need to take them both to the vet to see if there's a UTI? I hope to God it's not behavioral because I cannot imagine how I would be able to break that and I cannot live with an animal that's going to do that.

I didn't think either one acted stressed to me. They seem to be getting along fine. Is there a way I can figure out which one is doing this and if it's behavioral, how in the world do you break something like that?
I would shut my door but they tend to bang on doors that are closed. Help? :(

Abby had her surgery today is doing remarkably well. We wanted to try to keep her in my son's room for a couple of days and she would have none of it. She banged on the door so much my son let her out and she dashed around the house, banging into things with that cone on her head, just freaking out so much about the cone that my son took it off. Hopefully, she'll leave her stitches alone. But we can't seem to keep her quiet to rest up. She's raring to go!
Anyway, she's doing well and just wanted to let you all know.

I'm still keeping my door shut though till I can see if I can trust her!

April, maybe she's a smart kitty and understands how you feel about kitties peeing on your bed. It could have been jealous or the "in heat" issue.  Either way with the changes you are making, you are bound to get good results.  Like Jade, I have my fingers crossed. ^.^

I'll keep a positive thought on this, April!  I have a feeling this behavior will go away once kitty is spayed.  Fingers crossed!!!

Abby is scheduled to get spayed Monday morning.

Right now we do have 2 litter boxes but both in the laundry room. I really didn't want to have to bring one upstairs unless necessary as I hate messy litter boxes anywhere around me. :P We do keep them clean and the bedroom doors closed. I hate to seperate the cats unless I have to as I know they both want to be out around people.

But while she's recovering from surgery I am going to have her seperated from the other animals until she heals, probably in my son's room.

We shall see how things go! I hope things do get better now. Thanks everyone!
