All of the above, and in addition, when you think your cat has broken
training and is urinating in corners, check to see how much urine is
coming out before you scold him.  If you suspect he is blocked, get him
to a vet FAST-it is an emergency.

Among my own and my friends' experiences with cats, I've never heard
of FUS in a female--maybe having only female cats is the best
prevention -).
