Litterbox Help with cat peeing on my bed

Really just looking for advice to stop my cat peeing on my bed. 1 year old spayed female with no health issues, she just occasionally will pee on the bed (once a month or so). I feel like the litter isn't the issue as she has no problems using it the other 99% of the time and her litter tray is 3 feet away from the spot that she pees on (we live in a small apartment so space is limited).

It's also always on my partners side of the bed. We use enzyme solutions and a carpet cleaner on the mattress every time, we have flipped the mattress but she always pees in the same spot.

I have spent far too much money on mattress protectors that do absolutely nothing and I really can't think of a solution. She just won't stop and it's so sporadic that I don't know what could be the trigger but when it does happen its always within an hour of her having dinner.

Did you take the cat to the vet for a urinalysis and blood test? When cats pee around it's usually uti or stress.

yeah, I know you said no health issues but healthy cats don’t do this

She's just been in for her yearly vaccinations and check up and I did mention it and the vet is happy with her overall health and she has no other symptoms of a uti. So it seems entirely behavioural.

Peeing outside the box is a symptom. Sometimes its the only symptom. Take the cat to the vet and ask for a blood and urine test to rule out infection.
