More cat advice sought. (Warning: Poopies.)

[prog]

Ada's taken to going to the bathroom in incorrect locations lately. Last week she peed on the rug next to her litterbox. Yesterday she did her number-twos in the laundry basket in our bedroom.

Becuase she is stealthy, we don't discover the accidents until long after they're perpetrated, so we haven't bothered punishing her. But we'd like her to cut it out, just the same.

Thoughts of things we might be doing wrong, or which we should be looking out for?

For peeing, that's apparently sometimes caused by crystals in their urine (a food change will fix this), or urinary tract infections. It's worth getting a urine test (put some plastic wrap over the litterbox to gather urine).

On the other hand, none of that is wrong with my cat, as far as we can tell, and she still pees inappropriately.
