Question
My cat just walked over to me and urinated on me on purpose. She has not been eating and has been very cranky. Why would she do this?

Answer

Your cat is trying to let you know that she has something wrong with her.  Cats do not usually urinate on people;  her inappropriate urination lets you know that she should be examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible.
