Mystery Solved.
Freya has been using the fireplace as her personal litterbox. GAG.
Fireplace has been swept of it's (smelly) ashes and I put down a layer of brown paper coated with spray adhesive.
Freya seems to be having litterbox issues. Up to now, I've had to lock up baskets of laundry, and just a little while ago she peed in a bin of Kasey's beanbags. These particular beanbags aren't washable, so I had to throw the lot out.
I suspect it's a territory issue. Meaning she doesn't want to tread on the big kitty's turf (box).
So anyway I now get find a way to resolve a stinky fireplace problem.
ETA - ZOMG the spray adhesive isn't deterring her! She just walked around in there calm as you please! *headdesk*
ETA 2 - Spray adhesive isn't staying tacky... fortunately, I have an old supply of Sticky Paws.
