Firstly my cat gave birth to kittens 2 weeks ago. This is the second time for her and all is going well. She choose to have them in my bedroom, so in there is a litter tray which she has been using no problems, is happy with its location etc. Food and other bits. Last week I had an operation on my spine and am now bed bound so my husband bless him is sleeping on the couch so I have more room x AWWW x Last night he was awoken by a feeling of his feet being warm and weird he looked uup/down at his feet to see the cat squatting and peeing on him!!! He of course freeked out!!! He told me about it this morning and I am at a loss to explain why?
Her breed is Turkish Angora if that helps? And no he hasn't touched her kittens she only allows me to do that and is my cat ie she sleeps with me I am the only one she trusts I think you get my point. She does allow my husband in the bedroom and has no problems with him, she goes to him for cuddles and he doesn't go near to where the kittens are.
Why Did My Cat Pee on My Husbands Feet/socks When He Was Alseep?

Well don't let your kindly husband be upset, but it was probably the smell.
Cats have very very sensitive noses, so it could be the slight scent of the washing powder, of his shoe leather - or foot deodorant.
Mothers prefer to toilet as far away from kittens as possible - in the wild, the odour attracts predators so they like to go as far as possible from the nest. That distance increases as the kittens get older, and they are now old enough for her to feel she can range a bit more freely. Your husbands socks were soft and had a scent that said "peeing here is OK".
I would just suggest that you move her litter box into the hallway - as long as the door is open so she can reach it - which may stop her looking for a more distant spot.
Just one note of caution - if she repeats urinating in odd places in the next day or two, she may have an infection, so get her checked, but I don't think this "one off" is cause for alarm ...... except for your husband
