check to see if he has a bladder infection… they can be stressed induced in cats and are very often!!!
also make sure his litter box is very clean!!! the best way to describe this… imagine walking into the bathroom and one toilet is clean and the other has "wastes" in it… which would you choose?
also make sure you get the smell out and keep the door closed.
take him to the bed and make him smell it
smack him
get some of that spray/ cleaner stuff
cats smell it and they don’t want to go near it again
First- Check for a bladder infection.
Second- Stick the cats nose in it, then spay it with water. We sort of had the same problem and that really helped.

It’s tough to curb this behavior once it starts. Definitely make sure that the cat doesn’t have a bladder infection. If the cat does have a bladder infection, then it’s not her fault and she can be treated. You’ll need to take her to a vet to determine this.
I’ve heard that particularly Persians have a problem with peeing where they aren’t supposed to. I know this sounds bad, but Persian cats are very inbred. There may be nothing you can do about this situation.
Have you changed the brand/type of litter recently? Sometimes cats act out when their type of litter is changed. Also make sure she always has a clean litter box… remind her that her litter box is there by taking her over to it several times per day.
Is your cat declawed? Declawed cats often don’t use their litter box as they’re supposed to. I’m not sure why – revenge?
Make sure to use an enzymatic cleaner on any area that has been pissed on. If she can’t smell her own pee on it anymore, she may stop this behavior.
If he hasn’t been seen by a vet recently, then he could be suffering from a bladder or urinary infection.
If the vet gives him a clean bill of health, then you need to look for behavioural causes. This could be something as simple as a problem with the litter tray; too dirty, wrong location, dislikes brand of litter etc. He may even be marking territory. Do you have other pets, are there cats outside he feels intimidated by, have there been any changes within the home that might have stressed him? The web site below has a check list of 18 reasons that cats stop using their litter tray which will help if this is a behavioural problem.

Whether the first time was a genuine accident or not, use enzymatic products or biological washing powder to thoroughly clean up, because as long as he can detect his own scent, he will be tempted to toilet there again.
Please do not be tempted to follow the suggestions to rub his nose in it or smack him. Those suggestions are mean and pointless, because they will simply make an ill or anxious cat feel even worse. Nobody would ever suggest doing that to a toddler, so why on earth should it be considered okay to do it to a cat!
