Unexpected Behavior

I have two cats, one six and one who is four. The four year old constantly is trying to clean around the litter box in the bathroom, cleaning the walls and the tub to excess. this past weekend I had used a cleanser to clean my kitchen floor and bathroom floor...also (bear with me) i had read online how to remove mildew from a leather jacket with a 50/50 mix of water and rubbing alcohol. In the past few days this cat has been "cleaning" the floor and runs into the bathroom to pee every time i walk in there and then starts cleaning like crazy. He also jumped on my jacket that was on a chair and tried cleaning that too. Then later i looked over and he was in a squatting position just starting to pee on the jacket, so I reprimanded him and moved my jacket. Later on I looked and he was on the wooden chair that i had wiped down with this disinfectant just incase he got some on it... and he was in the process of peeing on the chair again. Could something be wrong emotionally for him to be doing this or could he be thinking that the disinfectant smell is similar to the ammonia being given off from the urine in his litter box? Help, I'm worried.
