There’s a cat that lives at a nursing home in Rhode Island who’s “predicted” the death of more than 25 patients there. Nurses at the nursing home noticed that the cat, named Oscar, tends to show a ton of affection and care to people who are on the verge of dying — and there’s actually some scientific basis for the cat’s weird skill.
If they do cover it, it means they recognize you as being higher up in the household hierarchy. Therefore a cat that does not cover it may in fact be thinking a little less of you than one that does.
That's kinda on you, though...
My cat sh#ts on the floor right next to the litter box. What does that mean?
Margaretta,
It means you took Amber Heard's cat.
Now give it back.
Never mind the a-holes above. If you're serious, you should take it to the vet to have it checked out. There are a number of reasons your cat may be doing that, from stomach cancer to worms. Sometimes declawed cats don't like the way the litter feels, so they avoid it.
Huh. Fancy that. A cat that doesn't sh!t in a box.
That would mean it doesn't really have anything going for it, at all.
