Well, that explains the inappropriate urination recently.
Boopsie pissed on the bed. A very small volume, and bloody. That means it's feline crystalitis -- crystals in the urine It's sort of a pre-kidney-stone kind of thing that affects cats, and is quite painful. And it must have been affecting her for a while, which is why she was pissing other places than her litterbox.

Call the vet first thing in the morning; locking her in the bathroom for tonight. That's where her litter box is, and water, as well as many cool porcelain surfaces, which she's going to want to lie on to deal with the ouch. And that will keep her from pissing on anything that will be damaged by it.

The poor thing.

Oof. Sounds painful. I hope she's better soon. (Are there drugs for that, or is it a diet change, or what?)

Well, there are special cat foods designed to help reduce the crystals, and you give antibiotics in case there's a secondary bladder infection or UTI.
