I have 2 female cats. They have both recently been spayed. Before the spay operation, I was having an issue with the cats (both of them I suspect) urinating all over my house. It became a big problem and I took them to the vet. My vet told me that they most likely did not have a urinary tract or bladder infection, and that they would most likely stop this behavior once they were spayed.
I had both of the cats spayed and the problem seemed to stop but there have been about 2 more accidents since the operation (which was around a month ago). This is a lot less frequent than before but now I'm worried that the problem hasn't been solved.
Are these just isolated incidents or could their be a bladder or behavorial problem with one or both of my cats?

These are indoor cats. I never let them go outside.

You should have your vet run tests on your cats' urine and blood to check for infection, crystals, diabetes, kidney disease, etc. If everything comes back normal, it is most likely a behavioral issue. Increasing the number of boxes around the house, cleaning the boxes more, trying a smorgasbord of litter and box types, and cleaning the spots very well (try the Bissell SpotBot) can all help most of the time.

Replace the kitty litter twice as often as you are doing now. Cats do not like dirty litter boxes, and just scooping out the turds is only a temporary solution for a day. That said, it could be a dominance issue and they are marking territory.

use non-scented clumping litter (the litter cats like most) and keep the boxes clean - you should have 1 litter box per cat - do not have the litter in a scarey place like next to the laundry machine
sometimes it is behavioral - particularly in some breeds like persians, himalayins... also its more common in declawed cats.
reinforce litter habits by locking the cat in the room with the litter box for a week or so.. make sure she gets plenty of attention
