My cat decided to use my plant as a litter box last night for no apparent reason. She is litter boxed trained, she is one year old, she has no behavioral problems as of now, and she is very PREGNANT!! I have no idea what possessed her, but all of a sudden she ran in the dining room and had a bowel movement in our potted tree plant, then was really frisky for about 5 min. When I realized what she'd done I immediately put her in the basement ( where her litter box is). I am really upset for more than one reason, first of all the smell was absolutely horrible. And more importantly, I don't want my kids to discover that and touch it god forbid. The whole reason why we put her litter box and food in the basement is so nobody bothers her down there and she can be comfortable.
Does anyone have an opinion on perhaps why she did this and if it maybe has anything to do w/ her being pregnant?? And what should I do if it ever happens again?? I am not keen on the idea of letting her use anything in the house for her potty.
Thank you all. And Happy Sunday to everyone!!
