My cat has psychological problems (I must be rubbing off on him)

[blankheaven]

I don't understand my older cat. I wish I knew a cat psychologist. Seriously. In the past two weeks he has been acting  out. Last week I was doing laundry and I had piles of (dirty) clothes on the floor and he walked over to the pile of my husband's work clothes, kneading them a little and proceeded to pee on them right in front of us. Than last night, he went over to his toy crate, climbed inside and peed in it right in front of D. There is nothing physically wrong with him because 1) he just had his exam and he is physically healthy and 2) this is a behavior he has had in the past that seems to come and go.

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions/insights?
