My cat is urinating in her own bed and then licking it.. Is this normal? I clean her bed in the wash after every incident but as soon as I set it down she just urinates in it again. Is she sick?

This is not normal at all. She may be suffering from a urinary tract infection, and/or incontinence. She is licking herself and her bed trying to clean the urine off. I suggest you take your kitty to your veterinarian for an exam and a urinalysis. If she is suffering from a UTI she will need prescription medication.
