My cat peed on my moms coat and peed and defecated in my shoe box, why?

She is female and spayed. Why is she doing these things? We took her to the vet and she is utd on shots. Did she think my shoe box with the liter box?? I don't understand why she would think that.

She does it to annoy you, she thinks it's funny.





So do I.
Reply:The first thing I would do is have the cat checked by a Vet. Inappropriate elimination is usually caused by stress and this can be due to a health issue or can be an environmental issue. So the first step is always to rule out health problems. My own cat recently had this problem and after checking him out we discovered a cat fight abscess. This was causing him to feel stressed and unwell and the result was weeing and pooing in strange places.





If the cat gets the all clear from the vet then you need to consider if there have been any changes to your cat's environment that might be causing her stress. Such as a new pet or person in the house. A change to the house. Or it may be something you aren't even aware of such as a new cat in the neighbourhood.





If it is stress rather than a health issue then you should speak to your Vet about managing the problem. The cat may need medication initially to help it relax and there are other things such as Feliway which you can use in the environment that release pheromones which can help your cat feel calmer.





Good luck.

Make sure it is being cleaned at least once daily.


It should not be in a high-traffic location - some cats get stage fright.


Most cats prefer fine-grained litter.


If you have more than one cat, you need one box per cat, plus one.


Urinary tract infections always come up when cats start urinating where they shouldn't. However, they usually choose to urinate on something cold, and in small amount. It would not hurt to check. If your household is changing, she may just feel uncomfortable - if you're moving, or someone is moving in or out. That could just take some time to get used to, but I'd look in to your box first.





Increased eating/drinking will cause increased excretion - if you notice a change in her diet or drinking, it may be worth a trip to the vet.
Reply:She could be stressed out, cats usually go to the bathroom in other places that their little box when they are stressed or angry. Make sure you clean all the smell off wherever she eliminates and spray it with something that is safe for cats and that smells like a citrus fruit (cats hate the smell). If the smell isn't removed she will just use it again because cats like to go in the same place over and over.


She may not know where her litter box is because cats locate their litter box by scent.. put of her feces in the litter box underneath the litter and put her in the litter box and grab her paws and make a digging motion in the litter.





If she is a kitten: my 8 week old kitten wouldn't use her litter box because the pellets were too large.. and they hurt her feet (kind of like walking on a rocky beach), so if you are using litter with large pellets, you should probably change to a more sandy kind.
Reply:How old is she? If she is young (less than two years) she may not be properly trained as to litter box ettiquete. If she is an older cat she may have a urinary tract issue and can't make it to the litter box. If the latter make an appointment at the vets because an antibiotic might be needed.
Reply:Ok, she's either VERY angry at you (did you lock her out for an extended period of time/refuse attention) or you've been moving her litterbox around and she's confused! My cat went through the same thing a few times, both from giving her baths and moving her litterbox. Good luck with breaking this habit!^^
Reply:I changed kitty litter once and the cat didn't like it for some reason -- he's NEVER done that before -- only when I made the kitty litter change --- do you have a new (I mean different brand) kitty litter? She may not like it. I never used it again and he stopped doing that......
Reply:Looks like your cat is pissed off at you. Cats show such behavior when they are protesting. Can happen when you leave them for a period of time and feel neglected by you. Maybe when you held it when it got its shots at the vet's. Can be a number of reasons.
Reply:Sounds like she is upset - possibly needing attention. My ferret used to do mean stuff whenever we went away and left her at a pet sitters house. As soon as we picked her up it seemed like she was mad at us for a few days.
Reply:Welll.... Lets see? Cause shes a friggin cat, an animal, duh!!!


I smell pee, poop, and stupid questions. Why would my dog crap in the yard? Cause he's a dog!!
Reply:your cat is most likly in heat and there is nothing that you can do about it so just go with the flow or get her fixed because if not she will continue till she mates
