my family just got a cat in december.
the cat was being so good,
but something changed i guess?
the cat sleeps on my bed at night,
and i think it was 3 nights i accidently closed my door so the cat couldnt get out.
the cat peed on my laundry and pooped on my carpet.
gross.. i know.
but now, last night i left the door open..
but she still pooped and peed on it.
my dad says if he catches her doing it again,
he'll get rid of her.
all i could think of doing is locking the cat out of my room at night.
but then.. what if she pees in my dads room?
then he'll really get rid of her.
how do i make this cat stop peeing and pooping everywhere?

My cat used to pee in the corners of the carpet. My parents tried shoving her nose in it and yelling at her, but it didn't do anything, in fact I think it made her more angry and pee more often.

What we ended up doing was buying this spray from the pet store, it's a peppermint spray, because most cats detest the smell of mint. Try spraying it in your room and anywhere else that your cat could pee. That might just be a temporary fix though.

If your cat continues to pee, take her to the vet, it could be a behavioural problem that could be solved with medication. Good luck.
