Anyone want to help figure this one out...cats

So I'm sitting watching TV with my teen and her cat comes into the room and poops in front of us. This is a new behavior. Her litter box is basically clean, she was petted this morning as always, and she seems healthy.

Cats just mystify me.

1. you pissed her off somehow, cally

think about it - you did something that has left her miffed.

3. Probably because we had 5 14 year olds spend the night

Drove me crazy, also. Why the cat blames the elder teen and I is beyond me. We often have many spend the night.

2. I think she is trying to tell you she is mad.

Especially since she did it right in front of you.

4. Try the Pets Group in DU

There are excellent resources there and it's always a nice break from GD-Good luck-

6. No clue

I've had so many cats over the years, but never seen that before.

How old is this cat?

7. She's 7 or 8

Strange cat. She spent her first few years scared to death here. Now she thinks she's in charge. This one is a new behavior. My daughter thinks she's mad at her. She kicked her (the cat) out of her room because she ate her papers. Both happen all the time so I doubt that's the reason. And for another question...this cat eats both my daughters' homework. Never tried for any paper of my husband's or mine.

8. Definitely expressing anger

My cat used to do this - one particularly severe episode (we left him alone for 2-3 weeks in a new house, with a strange neighbor to feed/water/scoop) culminated in him pooping on me while we slept. From then on - with his point made - he was back in the litter box.
